'No Dalit family has migrated'

Special Correspondent


Atmosphere normal, says Hisar Additional Deputy Commissioner

CHANDIGARH:Hisar Additional Deputy Commissioner Ashok Kumar Garg
claimed on Tuesday that no Scheduled Caste family from Mirchpur
village had migrated to Delhi or any other place in Haryana.

Reacting to media reports, he asserted that the social atmosphere was
totally normal.

An 18-year-old polio-stricken girl and her 70-year-old father were
burnt to death after 18 houses belonging to Dalits were set afire by
miscreants last month.

Mr. Garg, who is holding the charge of Deputy Commissioner, said
arrangements had been made for their rehabilitation and safety and
"there were no chances of recurrence of any untoward incident".

He said the repair work on the affected houses in Mirchpur was going
on and a committee headed by the Sub-Divisional Magistrate had visited
the village on Tuesday to oversee the work.

Mr. Garg further said that all the affected 200 family units had been
given two quintals of wheat each besides a compensation worth Rs.48.61
lakh.

Urging the people to maintain peace and harmony, he cautioned them
against some vested interests who were "trying to vitiate the
atmosphere in the village".
