Tension in Haryana's Hisar after Dalit-Jat spat
2010-06-15 23:50:00
Tension prevailed in the Surya Nagar area of this Haryana district
Tuesday after stray incidents of violence following a dispute between
the members of the Dalit and Jat communities, police said.
'Yesterday (Monday) night a buffalo, belonging to a member of Dalit
community, collided with a vehicle that was owned by a Jat youth. At
that time there were some heated arguments but the situation was
somehow controlled,' a police official said.
'Today (Tueday), the members of these communities again resorted to
violence to settle the dispute. Some miscreants also fired gunshots
and four people were admitted in the hospitals with injuries,' he
added.
District police chief Subash Yadav also visited the area, where heavy
police force has been deployed.
'We are keeping a close tab on the situation and police is ready to
tackle any kind of emergency,' the official added.
Nearly two months ago, Dalits of Mirchpur village in the district, 300
km from Chandigarh, were targeted by Jats and as many as 150 families
were driven out of the village after an arson attack on their homes.
A 70-year-old man and his 18-year-old physically challenged daughter
were killed and at least 18 houses were damaged in the attack.
