Dalits call off indefinite dharna after govt assurance

STAFF WRITER 14:31 HRS IST

Hisar, May 8 (PTI) Dalit families of Mirchipur village affected by
caste violence called off their fortnight-long dharna following the
state government's assurance that their demand would be fulfilled.

They Dalits had been on an indefinite dharna in front of the
mini-secretariat here demanding adequate compensation for the victims
of caste violence incident and rehabilitation outside the village,
prompting Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to visit the village.

They returned to their village last evening after getting assurance
from the authorities, Deputy Commissioner O P Sheoran said here today.

Tara Chand (70) and his daughter Suman (18) were burnt alive on April
21 when members of a particular community torched 18 houses belonging
to Dalits, sparking violence.

Sheoran said teams from the Public Works Department and District
Welfare Office will visit the village and construct the houses of the
Dalits which were damaged by the miscreants.
