RR Patil rules out tainted villages from contest

Mumbai: Home minister RR Patil announced on Wednesday in the
legislative council that villages with a background of communal riots
would not be allowed to participate in the competition for
dispute-free villages.
His announcement has significance in the wake of the first award for
dispute-free village to Khairlanji in Bhandara district. The tiny
village had seen a massacre of four people in 2006.
Patil's announcement came after NCP member Ram Pandangale raised
objection to the award given to Khairlanji for being a dispute-free
village. "It is a shame that the government selected a village for
this award which saw a massacre of dalits," Pandangale said.
He even demanded action against the collector and the guardian
minister of Bhandara. Pandangale got support from ruling as well as
opposition members.
