Tension Rises as One More Dalit Attacked
CHIDAMBARAM: A Dalit student was attacked at Vadakku Mangudi village near here on Wednesday, further intensifying the prevailing tension.
As people belonging to the intermediate caste and Dalit communities started gathering at the village, a heavy posse of police was deployed.
According to sources, Santhosh (15), class X student of a government school, was attacked by four persons with a knife and other weapons on Wednesday. He was admitted to the Chidambaram GH.
On hearing this, Human Right Party president L R Vishwanathan went to the village in his car, which was stoned. After this, the Dalits and people of intermediate-caste started to gather at the village. As tension was running high, a heavy posse of police was deployed.
Chidambaram DSP R Rajaram, Sethiathope DSP Suresh Babu were engaged in providing security.
Cuddalore SP A Radhika went to the spot and coordinated the security arrangements.
The problem between the two communities began on the evening of Parliamentary election day in the State (April 24) when some people from the intermediate-caste entered a Dalit colony and attacked the Dalits. Their properties were also damaged. In the attack, six persons were injured and two of them died later. Registering a case, Annamalai Nagar police arrested 50 persons of Vadakku Mangudi village belonging to the intermediate-caste for their hand in the attack.
Following this, enmity between the communities has grown. On Monday night, two Dalit youths, who were travelling on a motorbike, were stopped and attacked by unknown persons. The injured are being treated at the government hospital, Chidambaram.
Condemning the attack, VCK, CPM and some Dalits staged a road-blockade in front of the hospital on Tuesday. Police pacified them and the protest was withdrawn.
Later, the Collector S Suresh Kumar rushed to the village and spoke to the residents.
Meanwhile, L R Vishwanathan demanded an alternative place for the Dalits of this village. He said, “Dalits here are being continuously attacked. They are living an insecure life. So, the government should allocate a separate place for the Dalits of Vadakku Mangudi village. Otherwise, Dalits will surrender their ration cards and hold a protest.”
