Hassan: Indefinite Sit-in Called off on DC’s Assurances to Award Compensation

 

Hassan, 15 Aug 2013: The protesters called off the indefinite sit-in that was led by Madiga Dandora in front of the office of Deputy Commissioner (DC) here on Tuesday August 12, seeking compensation to the family of Dalit woman Sannamma who was mauled by a leopard a few months ago. 

 

Addressing the protesters, Madiga Dandora said that the higher police officers and forest officials visited the spot, where Dalit woman Sannamma was mauled by a leopard in her native Hardanahalli, at the limits of Halekote in Holenarasipura, 2 months ago.  Despite their visit, and autopsy to prove Sannamma died because of leopard attack, the grieving family is running pillar to post in the forest department seeking compensation. 

Meanwhile, the indefinite sit-in was called off on the assurances of DC instructing forest department to issue compensation cheque at the earliest.
