Hundreds of the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supporters on Thursday staged a demonstration in front of the Jagatsinghpur tehsil office demanding fulfilment of several demands.
The Dalit leaders in a meeting rued the district administration’s reticent attitude in implementing several pro- poor measures meant for Dalit people of the district.
They also alleged that due to the careless approach of a few Revenue officials, Dalit and OBC people are facing problems in obtaining miscellaneous certificates from Tehsil offices, including NFSA cards, IAY house, concrete roads and sanitation programme schemes.
later, the BSP supporters submitted a memorandum to the district Collector demanding action. The agitation was led by district BSP president Sujit K Gochhayat, women’s wing district chief Kanaka lata Mallick.
