Mysore: The Mysore District Gram Panchayat Municipal Workers Association staged a demonstration in front of the Dr BR Ambedkar Development Corporation office at Lakshmipuram on Wednesday July 2 in protest against the failure of the government schemes like Safai Karmachari Rehabilitation Scheme reaching the target groups.
The protestors expressed anguish and said that the act of the present directors of the Social Welfare Department of bringing rules in accordance to their whims and fancies, had hit hard the potential beneficiaries of the scheme.
The assurance to abolish the new rules has not been fulfilled, they said. A memorandum was also forwarded to the Chief Minister through the Deputy Commissioner.
The Karnataka State Uppara Yuva Vedike also organised a protest on Wednesday condemning the injustice done to Suresh, a junior engineer under NREGA Scheme in Kuratti Hosur Gram Panchayat of Chamrajnagar. The protestors alleged that the harassment meted out to Suresh by the former GP Chief Sardar, his wife and Anganavadi worker Sarojamma and PDO Vairamudi drove Suresh to suicide.
K Somashekhar, State President of the Vedike, KT Mohan Kumar, District President and others participated in the protest.
