Madigas demand internal reservation
Staff Correspondent
Raichur: Activists of the district unit of the Madiga Dandora
Meesalathi Horata Samiti took out a procession and staged a dharna
here on Thursday. They urged the Government to provide inner
reservation for Madigas.
Cause of anger
The protesters alleged that the A.J. Sadashiva Commission on Internal
Reservation among the Scheduled Castes in Karnataka had not submitted
its report on time and that the chairman of the commission should be
replaced by another so that the Madigas can get justice speedily by
way of beging provided internal reservation.
The members of the samiti also wanted the Government to complete work
on relocating flood-hit villages and rehabilitating the displaced
families in Raichur district.
General secretary of the district unit of the samiti P. Narasappa led
the protest march which began from Ambedkar Circle and passed through
the main streets of the city before it culminated at the Deputy
Commissioner's office. where they staged staged a dharna and submitted
a memorandum there.
Mr. Narsappa sought the removal of Vaddar, Lambani and Koravar
communities from the list of Scheduled Castes. According to him,
because the Vaddar, Lambani and Koravar communities were included in
the Scheduled Castes list, Madiga community was affected.
Houses for flood-hit
On the occasion, Mr. Narsappa stressed on the need to construct houses
and toilets for all BPL families in Merchethal village in Manvi taluk.
He urged the Government to take steps to construct a separate samudaya
bhavan for Madigas at Masarkal village in Deodurg taluk. He added that
the Government should also initiate action to hasten the construction
of the houses at all the identified relocated centres for
rehabilitating the displaced families from the flood-affected villages
in Raichur district.
