DSS protest

BANGALORE: Dalit Sangharsh Samithi (N. Murthy faction) will stage a protest in Bangalore on Monday, urging the Government to allocate 23 per cent funds in the Budget for the welfare of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. Addressing presspersons here on Saturday, samithi’s State unit president N. Murthy said the funds allocated for the community should be used only for Dalit welfare, through a single-window system.

In another press conference, Karnataka Rajya Dalit Sangharsha Samiti too sought 23 per cent budgetary allocation for the community.
