DALTONGANJ, Feb. 25 -- At a recent meeting of DISHA, a conglomeration of ruling and opposition MPs and MLAs, the state finance minister Radha Krishna Kishore has directed DC (Deputy Commissioner) Shashi Ranjan to ensure the rehabilitation of the 10 dalit families, who are Mushars and who continue to be landless and homeless since 2022.

Kishore has further directed the DC to provide suitable land and houses for these Maha Dalits.

"I believe the administration must avoid resettling these Maha Dalits on the same plot of land at Murumatu from where they were thrown out. It will never be any happy proposition," opined Kishore.

"An eviction had happened there. Their huts were later demolished. Such incidents leave a scar," he said.
