Funds sought for Dalit colonies
Staff Reporter
SANGAREDDY: District unit of the Kula Vivaksha Porata Samithi (KVPS)
demanded the government to allot Rs.25,000 crore for creating
facilities at Dalit colonies.
Addressing a gathering in front of the Collectorate after holding a
dharna on Monday, KVPS State general secretary John Wesley alleged
that the respective governments failed to meet the aspirations of the
Dalits by neglecting them. Wondering why even the allotted budget was
also not spent by the government for the benefit of Dalits, he
demanded appointment of the chairman of SC, ST Commission immediately.
Allotment of Rs.5,000 crore for Indiramma Houses, supplying 35 kg of
rice to all Dalit families and allotment of agriculture land to Dalits
are some of the demands put forth by the KVPS.
Earlier, a procession was held from ITI to Collectorate.
Demands hike in wages
District wing of the Centre for Indian Trade Unions (CITU) demanded
the government to increase the minimum wages to Rs.10,000 as the cost
of living has been escalated. A memorandum was submitted to the Deputy
Labour Commissioner here on Monday.
