Staff Correspondent
The district-level Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes grievances
redressal committee headed by the Deputy Commissioner warned officials
of various departments to promptly implement the schemes and
programmes meant for the welfare of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled
Tribes in the district.
The committee heard grievances of the members of the two communities
at a meeting held here on Saturday.
The complaints pertained to certain departments not utilising funds
properly thereby denying the benefits to the intended people.
Funds set aside
The Government has set aside 20 to 22.75 per cent of the funds in
government departments but its utilisation has always been less than
required, the members complained to the community.
People of the SC, ST communities also complained about the lack of
progress into investigations pertaining to the specific cases of
alleged atrocities on members belonging to the two communities,
besides negligence of problems concerning maintenance of graveyards,
samudaya bhavans, distribution of ration cards, and providing basic
amenities in their colonies.
Ajay Nagabhushan, Chief Executive Officer of the Belgaum Zilla
Panchayat and in-charge Deputy Commissioner, who presided over the
meeting, told the people of the SC,ST communities that he would try to
improve the situation and advised officials concerned to be prompt in
extending the government benefits to SC, ST communities.
Apart from Superintendent of Police Sandeep Patil, tahisldars,
sub-divisional officers, executive officers of taluk panchayats and
other officials from different departments were present.
