Respected Sir

I, B.Karthik Navayan, Programme Officer, National Dalit Forum wants to bring to your kind notice about the cruel attack, sexual abuse on six Dalit women, gross violation of human rights. And Inaction of Police and administration

On 09/12/2011, Friday, an upper caste mob brutally attacked Six Dalit Women namely 1) Smt Manju Devi, w/o Satan Sada, 2) Smt Dulari Devi w/o Kainu Sada; 3) Smt Parodevi w/o Ramnath Sada, 4) Smt Pabiya Devi w/o Tarani Sada 5) Smt Reshma Devi w/o Wakil Sada 6) Geetha Devi w/o Dinesh Sada. All are belongs to Nararia village of Khagaria district in Bihar

The accused mob 1) Saroj Singh s/o Promod Singh 2) Anoj Singh s/o Promod Singh 3) Manoj Singh s/o Promod Singh 4) Dharmendra Singh s/o Promod Singh 5) Promod Singh s/o Uchit Singh 6) Uchit Singh s/o Ramswaroop Singh7) Wakil Singh s/o Maheshwar Singh 8) Kailas Singh s/o Maheshwar Singh 9) Maheshwar Singh s/o Sukhdev Singh, all belongs to Chatar Village of Khagaria District in Bihar

All the accused went to the farm of dalit women Manju Devi on 09/12/2011 at 9 AM, to encroach it illegally, and started destroying it. When she came to know, she along with her above said neighbor women went to the farm and tried to stop the mob that started destroying the farm

The accused mob circled the 6 dalit women and abused them in filthy language, on the name of their caste and attacked them by lathi danda and guns. All the 6 dalit women shocked and asked them why they are destroying the farm. The irritated mob had beaten all the women. Due to this two women went unconscious. One woman Dulari Devi's both hands fractured, they also snatched the gold rings worth of 15000/- (Fifteen Thousand Rupees)

Satan Sada the husband of Manju Devi reached the place and requested for compromise. The accused mercilessly looted Rs 10000/-(Ten Thousand) from him at gun point. The accused number 1, Saroj Singh fired a bullet on Satan Sada, fortunately it missed

The Accused 2 Anoj Singh and Accused 3 Manoj Singh both sexually harassed Pabiya Devi and Parodevi; they removed Sarees and blouses of both dalit women and paraded nakedly. And they spit in the mouths of dalit women. Now all the victims admitted in the Sadar Hospital in Khagaria.

The victims lodged a complaint in the Morkahi Police Station; FIR is registered number 80/2011 under section 147, 148, 149, 342, 323, 325, 504 of Indian penal code and Section 3 (i) (ii) (iii), (iv), (x), (xi) of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act 1987. The station house officer Sathyendra Kumar took up the investigation

Even after 27 days of incident, neither an inquiry is conducted nor the accused arrested by the police, due to the political influence of the Accused. And meanwhile the accused regularly calling and sending mediators to victims and threatening to withdraw the complaint by saying that "police and other government officials not going to help the victims, nothing will happen to accused" police only serve the rich people not poor like you".

I request your kind authority to direct the police to conduct inquiry and arrest the accused immediately, also request you to direct the district government authority to visit the victims and provide the necessary health facilities and compensation

The Dalits in this locality are feeling panic after this brutal attack on the dalit women so I further request National Human Rights Commission to visit the Nararia village of Khagaria district in Bihar. And conduct an inquiry in this case, to give moral support to the victims and local dalits

[ZESTCaste] AMC fails to reserve seats for OBC, SC/ST

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/allahabad/AMC-fails-to-reserve-seats-for-OBC-SC/ST/articleshow/11349981.cms

AMC fails to reserve seats for OBC, SC/ST
TNN | Jan 3, 2012, 01.48PM IST

Allahabad: The Allahabad municipal corporation had adopted a callous
attitude while reserving the wards of the city for other backward
classes (OBCs) and SC/ST candidates in accordance with the
constitutional provisions made in 2006.

Raising the issue, Sadiabad corporator Rajiv Arya said that AMC
authorities have whimsically reserved the wards without adhering to
the constitutional provisions. He has also written to the divisional
commissioner regarding the issue.

There is provision of reservation for OBC wards according to
sub-section (2) of section 7 of Uttar Pradesh Municipal Corporation
(Reservation and Allotment of Seats) Rules, 1994. The number of wards
that would be reserved for the OBCs in any municipal corporation would
be equal to 27 per cent total wards of that civic body.

Had AMC reserved wards in accordance with the constitutional
provisions, then 22 seats would have been reserved for OBCs. However,
the reality is that only 16 seats have been reserved for this section.
Among the reserved seats, 10 were reserved for men and six for women
candidates.

Similarly, wards for the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe
candidates have also not been reserved in due proportions. About 10
wards have been reserved for the SC and STs. Among these, four seats
have been reserved for women candidates and six for men.

Another corporator Uttam Kumar has raised the issue. He said that the
neglected sections of the society have not been represented during the
last elections in 2006. Kumar demanded that steps should be taken for
reservation of wards in accordance with the constitutional provisions.

Municipal commissioner Ashok Kumar said that reservation would be done
in accordance with the constitutional provisions. Representations
would be given to the OBCs, scheduled castes and tribe candidates in
the next civic elections.

Municipal commissioner Ashok Kumar said that reservation would be done
in accordance with the constitutional provisions. Representations
would be given to the OBCs, SC and ST candidates in the next civic
elections.

Dropped by Mayawati, BSP minister weeps uncontrollably
Published: Tuesday, Jan 3, 2012, 0:22 IST
Place: Shahjahanpur | Agency: PTI

Dejected after being sacked for non-performance by Uttar Pradesh Chief
Minister Mayawati, former minister Avadhesh Kumar Verma on Monday
broke down before a congregation of people in the district.

Verma, wept uncontrollably while addressing the gathering, claimed
that he was dropped despite having a clean image.

The BSP leader announced that he would be contesting as an Independent
candidate in his home constituency Dadraul in the upcoming UP polls.

"There was no case of corruption against me and I was removed without
a charge. I had huge respect for BSP chief Mayawati," the leader said.

Verma, who was the MoS (Independent Charge) of OBC Welfare, was among
the 16 ministers dropped by Mayawati in the last few months.
