Telengana
registered 1694 cases of crimes against Dalits in 2014.
Dalits
face social boycott by the upper caste villagers denying daily manual labour to
some 100 families of Dalit community in Yellaram village of Medak district in
Telengana. Their crime: some persons of their community had recently been in
the vicinity of two temples in the village.
Where
is district administration headed by an IAS officer and what is it doing
towards this issue?
Manoharabad,
a village of Jakranpally mandal in Nizamabad district is a perfect example of a
model village in the same state of Telengana. With a population of 1100 it has
98% literacy, safe drinking water supply to every household, no child labour
and no school dropouts with street lights with automatic on and off switches.
This tiny panchayat gives top priority to sanitation and cleanliness. So it
looks spick and span. Every eligible person gets social security pension and
there is absolutely no crime reported. The villagers are happy with 1000 acres
of cultivation. About 76 persons from this village are in the Gulf and one in
USA. The credit goes to the young
Sarpanch Patakuri Tirupathi Reddy. If I were the CM of the state I would have
appointed him straightaway as the Hon. Director of Panchayat Department in the
state.
