Alleged social boycott of Dalit family after inter-caste marriage in Chityala mandal of Nalgonda, demand to register case against accused under SC/ST Act.
Nalgonda (Telangana): A case of social boycott has come to light after an inter-caste marriage in Chityala mandal. It is being told that in the month of April, a Dalit youth married a girl from Yadav community, after which a controversy arose.
After marriage, the couple left the village and started living in another area. But on April 16, people of Yadav community allegedly called a panchayat and passed a resolution in the meeting that the Dalit family will no longer be employed as a drummer, laborer or driver in the village.
Palamuru Nagarjuna, who is the state vice-president of Anti-Caste Discrimination Committee, alleged that the elders of the community have signed this resolution. According to him, this step is going to hurt the dignity of Dalits.
Nagarjuna also said that the police have not taken any action so far on the incidents of violence and harassment of Dalits in Chityala mandal.
He said that a complaint was lodged in this regard at the Chityala police station, but the police did not take any concrete action. Apart from this, he has also submitted a memorandum to the sub-inspector of Chityala, demanding registration of a case against the accused under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.
