Swift action sought on SC/ST cases
The Chairman proposed holding a Civil Rights Day on the last Saturday of every month, involving tahsildars and police officers to address village-level grievances. He instructed the formation of a quarterly DVMC (District Vigilance & Monitoring Committee) to ensure inter-departmental coordination in resolving SC/ST-related concerns. The Commission chief stressed strict adherence to the Rule of Reservation (RoR) in promotions and warned of disciplinary action for violations.
Earlier, the Chairman visited the under-construction Ambedkar Bhavan in Singannagudem and urged speedy completion. He paid floral tributes to Dr BR Ambedkar and Babu Jagjivan Ram statues in Bhongir town. Public petitions were accepted directly by the Chairman.

Devanur Mahadeva urges Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to implement internal quota without delay
Kannada writer and activist Devanur Mahadeva has written an open letter to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, urging him to implement the recommendations of the H.N. Nagamohan Das Commission report on internal reservation, which have been made 'in keeping with the spirit of the Supreme Court judgement on the issue.' Cabinet meeting The letter comes ahead of a special meeting of the State Cabinet on Tuesday to discuss the report, which was submitted to the government on August 4. Dalit left and right communities have been divided on the report, with the former demanding its implementation at the earliest and the latter calling it 'unscientific.' In his letter, Mr. Mahadeva says that he writes amid 'confusion and anguish' that implementation of the report might be pushed indefinitely because of the controversies surrounding it. With the government recruitment process linked to internal reservation implementation, the writer has expressed apprehension that postponing it might lead to thousands of youths being denied employment. The letter also batted for raising the reservation for the Scheduled Castes (SC) and the Scheduled Tribes (ST), which he argues could put an end to some of the confusion. Commending the commission for covering 94% of the population and conducting a thorough survey, Mr. Mahadeva also said: 'This is not to suggest that the objections against the report should be brushed aside.' He said that hiking the quantum of quota and expanding the powers and functions of both the SC and ST commissions for periodic revision of reservation policies in accordance with data would end much of the confusion. Protest on Monday Meanwhile, the Dalit right groups have upped their ante and announced a protest against the report on Monday at Freedom Park under the banner of the Karnataka Rajya Balagai Jathigala Okkoota. They have alleged that the report is 'unscientific, incomplete and prepared with mala fide intentions', as it goes against the interest of the Dalit right communities. They have demanded that the government should reject the report and conduct a fresh survey.
