[ZESTCaste] 13 houses of Dalits attacked

13 houses of Dalits attacked

Special Correspondent

SALEM: Thirteen houses of the Adi Dravidar Colony suffered minor
damage and a temple car was found partially burnt in Tholasampatti
village of Omlaur block near here on Tuesday. Nobody was injured.

Simmering differences had surfaced between caste Hindus and Dalits
when the village celebrated the annual three-day car festival of the
Sri Aboorvamaya Perumal temple, which concluded on Sunday. The Dalits
alleged that they were not permitted to take part in the festival, a
claim the caste Hindus refuted. This prompted a group of Dalits to
enter the 'poromboke' land on which the temple car is stationed, to
construct a temple. The caste Hindus protested and a wordy quarrel
ensued. Village elders intervened and pacified both the groups.

On Tuesday morning, the temple car was found partially burnt. Blaming
it on the Dalits, a group of caste Hindus reportedly entered the Adi
Dravidar colony and threw stones at the houses. Tiles, windowpanes and
household articles were damaged. Protesting against the attack and
demanding compensation, the Dalits staged a demonstration in front of
the office of the Omalur Tahsildar.

Special Correspondent

Possession deeds to be issued: Minister

Thiruvananthapuram: Minister for Welfare of Scheduled and Backward
Communities A.K. Balan said here on Saturday that the government would
not evict Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe families living on surplus
or puramboke land. He was addressing a function at the Ninankonam
colony in Kilimanoor Assembly constituency during a tour of Scheduled
Caste/Scheduled Tribe colonies in the district.

Mr. Balan said the government did not intend to evict the 51 families
who had encroached upon private land and the 91 families settled on
surplus land in Ninankonam colony. "Even though encroachment cannot be
justified, they will not be displaced. The government will initiate
moves to issue possession certificates to the 142 families," he said.

Navayikulam panchayat president Shajahan presented a memorandum to the
Minister, urging the government to remove the legal hurdles in issuing
possession certificates. N. Rajan, MLA, presided over the function.
District Panchayat President Anavoor Nagappan and Vice President B.P.
Murali were among those present.

Later, addressing a meeting at the Idinjaar Scheduled/Scheduled Tribe
colony, Peringamala, the Minister said he would take steps to write
off the arrears on electricity bills of residents who had their
connections cut off due to non-payment of bills. He said all eligible
families would be provided electricity for their houses. Mr.Balan said
416 acres of land had been identified for distribution.

SC to pass orders tommorow on UP's memorials row

STAFF WRITER 19:37 HRS IST
New Delhi, Jan 27 (PTI) The Supreme Court today said it would pass an
order tomorrow on the row relating to construction of various
memorials for and statues of Dalit icons by Mayawati government in
Lucknow.

It would also pass an order on contempt proceedings against the Uttar
Pradesh chief secretary in connection with the row.

A bench of Justices H S Bedi and A K Patnaik also asked the UP
government to file an affidavit on maintenance works it proposed to
undertake at the site though no further construction activities would
be permitted at the site until the state High Court decides on the
issue.

The apex court said it would ask the Allahabad High Court to decide on
a bunch of petitions filed by NGO Gomti Nagar Kalyan Sanstha and other
individuals challenging Mayawati government's decision on the
construction of the memorials.
