K''taka ''pathetic'' in dealing with cases against SC/STs: Study
PTI | 03:09 PM,Sep 16,2011
Though the government is supposed to prepare an annual report on
implementation of the SCs and STs (Prevention of Atrocities) Act in
the State, it had not done so for the past three years, the study
said. The government is also supposed to hold half-yearly review
meetings but only one such meeting was held in the last three years,
instead of six meetings, the study said. Hassan and Chickballapur are
additions in the top ten districts with the maximum atrocities against
SC/STs. After a steep increase in such incidents, they take their
place alongside districts such as Bangalore, Gulbarga, Bellary and
Mysore, which consistently feature in the top ten, it added.
"Awareness should be created regularly and systematically to school
and college students on the Act and Ambedkar Jayanthi should be used
to conduct debates and other programmes to highlight the Act,"
Opposition leader in Legislative Council, Motamma said. A group
consisting of organisations and individuals working on human rights
and RTI in Karnataka namely, Anti-Corruption Forum (ACF), Buddhist
League, Karnataka Dalit Mahila Vedike (KDMV), National Campaign for
Dalit Human Rights (NCDHR), OpenSpace, Rural Education and Development
Society (REDS) and Sanchaya Nele compiled the report.
