Dalits demand action against VDC secretary

SIRAHA, OCT 14 -

Dalit community staged a sit-in in front of the Sitapur VDC office in
Lahan, Siraha,

on Thursday demanding action against the VDC secretary and the
assistant technician alleging their involvement in misappropriation of
social security allowance.

The agitators claimed that VDC Secretary Bibek Chandra Karki and
Assistant Technician Pheku Yadav had misappropriated around Rs 1.7
million meant for 70 people entitled to various allowances. They said
the needy were deprived of the allowance for the past three years.

"We repeatedly urged the duo to return the money, but no avail. Thus
our protest," said Chandrakalawati Ram.

They also filed complaints about the misappropriation in the District
Administration Office and the District Development Committee. They
accused have not been arrested. The government grants allowances to
the elderly, the differently abled, Dalit children and single women.

According to the VDC, 312 people including 241 elderly, 70 single
women and one differently abled are entitled to the allowance under
its administration.
