Expedite selection process for govt scheme benefits: DC
Mangaluru: Deputy commissioner Darshan HV instructed govt departments to expedite the selection process of beneficiaries of schemes under various corporations and approve the benefits quickly. He spoke while presiding over a meeting of various committees of the social welfare department, at the deputy commissioner's office on Friday. He emphasised that it is not appropriate to delay processes such as the verification of beneficiary records, site inspections, and other procedures, as this results in eligible beneficiaries not receiving facilities in a timely manner. He advised that, if necessary, only the residential verification of beneficiaries should be conducted, and the facilities should be approved swiftly. To ensure equal access to beneficiary selection, a taluk-wise selection process will be considered, he said. The DC said discussions will be held with bankers regarding the rejection of applications under bank-based loan facilities due to low CIBIL scores. He instructed the officials of urban local bodies to report any accidents or deaths involving civic workers to the deputy commissioner office within 24 hours. The relief funds for civic workers should not be used for other purposes, he directed. Additional deputy commissioner G Santhosh Kumar emphasised that all departments should promptly select beneficiaries for SCP/TSP schemes and utilise the funds within the stipulated time. Hemalatha S, the deputy director of the social welfare department, said that in Dakshina Kannada, 24 Dalit atrocity cases were registered until the end of May 2025, and compensation of Rs 22.1 lakh was provided in 16 of these cases.

Demand for quota in jobs, exams to test govt
Jaipur: The OBC Adhikar Manch, Rajasthan, formally extended its support to the Gurjar Arakshan Manch in their ongoing demand for the full constitutional implementation of the 5% reservation granted to Gurjars, Rebaris, Banjaras, Labanas, and Gairis under the Most Backward Classes (MBC) category in Rajasthan. Lokendra Gurjar, state spokesperson of the OBC Adhikar Manch, released a statement Sunday affirming the Manch's support and expressing deep concern over the continued denial of legal recognition to the quota. "Despite the sacrifices of over 80 community members in the police firing in 2007 and 2008 and repeated promises by successive govts, this reservation still lacks constitutional protection. It is not just a policy failure—it is an injustice," he said. He also highlighted the exclusion of eight southern districts—Banswara, Dungarpur, Pratapgarh, Udaipur, Sirohi, Chittorgarh, Rajsamand, and Pali—from the benefits of the MBC quota, further disadvantaging aspirants in TSP (Tribal Sub-Plan) areas. "Youth from these regions are being systematically excluded from police, REET, patwari, and other key govt recruitments due to lack of age and cut-off relaxations. This must end," he added. Calling on the state govt to act decisively, Gurjar said, "Before the 2023 Assembly elections, Union minister Bhupender Yadav and BJP in-charge Arun Singh promised action on this issue. Now, the govt must fulfil its word. Enough of delays and diversions." The Manch also confirmed that it submitted a memorandum to the chief minister and requested a formal meeting on the issue. "If the govt continues to ignore the genuine and constitutional demand of the Gurjar community, a joint movement cannot be ruled out," said Gurjar.
