With people from Dalit communities in 32 villages of Gujarat’s 20 districts living under police protection, Chief Minister Vijay Rupani has suggested launching a campaign to promote “samajik samarasta (social harmony)” in these villages so that the police protection can be lifted.
The issue was on Wednesday discussed in a meeting of the state-level vigilance and monitoring committee that looks after effective implementation of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, or the Atrocity Act.
