Taking a note of complaints of alleged
atrocities on Dalits in Bundelkhand’s Lalitpur district, the national
human rights commission (NHRC) has sought a report from the state
government.
The commission has also asked its director general (investigation) to send a factfinding team to Lalitpur to probe into the matter.
The issue of alleged harassment of Dalits in the form of caste-based
discrimination, sexual exploitation and untouchability in the region was
brought to the notice of the NHRC by an NGO - People’s Vigilance
Committee of Human Rights (PVCHR) - working in Bundelkhand.
“The situation is alarming. Dalits are not allowed to wear shoes in
front of upper caste people in rural areas of Lalitpur,” alleged Dr
Lenin Raghuvanshi, chairman, PVCHR.
