Justice AJ Sadashiv Commission, which is inquiring into the constitutional facilities provided by the State Government to SC communities, conducted meetings with the SC leaders and received petitions from various 10 sub-castes of scheduled castes at the DC office in Haveri of Karnataka recently. D S Malagi, district DSS leader, submitted a memorandum to Justice Sadashiv and urged him to transfer all the responsibilities of Ganga Kalyan programmes and other welfare schemes to the district administration from the elected representatives. Udachappa Malagi, convener of the district DSS and president, Youth Congress Committee, urged him to renovate ‘Lidkar’ which would generate self-job opportunities for those people working in leather units in the district.

They demanded that all atrocity cases be handled properly by the officers concerned and in case of any failure, action be taken against the guilty officer.
