National Scheduled Caste Commission member PM Kamalamma receiving representations from people at a review meeting at the Sub-collector’s office in Vijayawada on Tuesday
VIJAYAWADA: National Commission for Scheduled Castes (NCSC) member PM Kamalamma has said that police are negligent on filing complaints lodged by the Scheduled Castes (SC).
Speaking at a review meeting held to address the complaints and problems relating to SCs at the Sub-collector’s office in Vijayawada, Kamalamma urged the police to promptly register cases after receiving complaints from SC people and give them a copy of the FIR. She said that as people from this section are timid, they approach police in groups to lodge their complaints. Therefore it is the duty of police to receive their complaints and strive to arrest the accused.
PM Kamalamma pointed out that reports about no response from officials to complaints from SCs are coming mostly in cases concerning the revenue department and land dealings. She said that she would take a tour of Krishna district once in three months.
After taking complaints from people at the meeting, Kamalamma reviewed SC atrocities cases, SC sub-plan, among others. Krishna district collector M Raghunandan Rao told at the meeting that `87.26 crore were spent under SC sub-plan in 2013-14 and `69.37 crore till now out of the total `74.34 crores sanctioned for 2014-15.
The collector also pointed out while 51,099 land cases were filed in the district, 49,101 cases were related to people from poorer sections.
MLC Boddu Nageshwara Rao, joint collector J Murali, sub-collector S Nagalakshmi, DRDA PD Rajanikantha Rao and others were present.
