Special Correspondent

BANGALORE: The State Government has issued strict instructions to the Deputy Commissioner and the Superintendent of Police of Gulbarga district to take measures to restore peace in Surpur taluk where Dalits are living in fear because of frequent atrocities against them.

Primary and Secondary Education Minister Basavaraj S. Horatti, who replied on behalf of Home Minister M.P. Prakash, told the Legislative Assembly on Thursday that the Government had taken the matter seriously. It had directed the Deputy Commissioner and the Superintendent of Police to take measures to restore normality and also to ensure that such incidents did not recur.

Earlier, raising the issue during zero hour, G.V. Sriram Reddy (CPI-M) said the district in-charge Minister had not visited the affected village though a large number of Dalits were gripped by fear. He urged the Government to organise peace meetings in the taluk to restore normality.
