TNN, Jan 25, 2011, 12.10pm IST
MIRCHPUR: Even as the police and local administration was yet to come
to terms with agitation by jats, now dalit communities have also
started holding protests here as well as in Hisar.

Hisar. The protesters, led by Gair Jat Sangathan president Ved Pal
Tanwar, raised anti-administration slogans.
The protesters are members of Balmiki families, who had fled from
Mirchpur village soon after Jats convened mahapanchayat. The police is
saying that no dalit family left the village then who are we We are
the ones, who left Mirchpur village and were staying in a safe place
in Hisar. We want our families to be rehabilitated and government jobs
as per our qualification,'' Hari Pal, one of the protesters said.
Meanwhile, contrary to the assertion of district administration that
no one had left village, intelligence report suggest that except for a
handful of elderly men and women, who are taking care of belongings,
most of the members of Balmiki families have fled the village.
Protesters Sheela, Ved Prakash, Des Raj, Jogender, Krishan Kumar,
