Karnataka - Bangalore
Dalit Panthers stages protest
Staff Reporter
Bangalore: Members of the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) and
Dalit Panthers of India (DPI) on Tuesday staged a protest in front of
the Mahatma Gandhi Statue on Mahatma Gandhi Road here seeking sites
for Dalit slum dwellers in Bangalore and cultivable land for landless
farmers in rural areas.
DPI State secretary M. Swami Shekar said that Bangalore had over 555
slums and the poor lived in these areas for decades without basic
amenities. Attempts are being made to evict the slum dwellers of L.R.
Nagar, Ambedkar slum, ISRO slum, Shanthi Nagar and Samanta Nagar to
allot those land to influential and multi-national companies. In rural
areas too, landless farmers, many of them belonging to backward
classes, are leading a difficult life. Those who have been cultivating
on government land are denied title deeds, he alleged.
