Saraswati puja discrimination: Probe ordered

KENDRAPARA, Feb 3: Dalit children were allegedly prevented from offering puja to Goddess Saraswati in a government-run primary school under Rajnagar police station area recently.
The incident occurred on 31 January Saraswati puja function at Sidhamarichani Primary School, under Koilipur gram panchayat.
Meanwhile, Kendrapara district administration has ordered an inquiry into alleged show of discrimination towards Dalit children.
“The administration was told of the purported incident. The block development officer of Rajnagar has been asked to inquire into the veracity of allegations and submit a report. In the event the school authorities are found guilty, they would be taken to task,” said Kendrapara collector, Mr Sisirkanta Panda.
It was alleged that head of the said school had stopped the Dalit children of the institution from offering puja to the deity. The agitated guardians had later drawn the attention of local BDO. But the local authorities turned a deaf ear to their complaint. Finally the district magistrate and collector was petitioned on the arbitrary behaviour on part of head master of the school.
Despite grounds-well of opinions and legal sanction for abolition of the practice, caste-related discrimination is still prevalent mainly in remote rural pockets of this coastal district. n sns
