Sundararaj, MLA. “But till now they have not even shown the land to us. We submitted petitions many times to the district administration. But no action has been taken,” Sabapathy said.
The villagers also urged the government to allot land for a grave yard in their village. “There are two grave yards in the village. But it is for those who belong to other castes, not for Dalits. The Government should take immediate action regarding this,” Sabapathy added.
