Tribal organisations organise bandh in Alluri Sitharama Raju district seeking special DSC for tribals
Following a call given by the Agency DSC Sadhana Committee demanding conduct of a special DSC for the tribals, a large number of tribal youth took part in bandh in Alluri Sitharama Raju district on Friday. Shops, business establishments in Araku, Paderu, Chintapalli, Ananthagiri and other important areas in the district, were partially closed, while transportation also took a hit as part of bandh. Members of the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) and all the tribal organisations supported the bandh. The agitators attempted to stop the buses from the depots and also placed vehicles in middle of the roads. Member of A.P. Girijan Sangham Killo Surendra said that the Girijan Sangham members met the authorities concerned requesting them to organise special DSC for the tribals. 'However, the response was not great. So, we have decided to organise bandh,' he said, while staging a protest at Paderu along with the members. He also demanded that the teacher posts in the Agency areas be exempted from the Mega DSC notification. Paderu MLA M. Visweswara Rao, who took part in the protest, said that Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu had promised to take steps to amend the G.O No. 3 that was struck down by the apex court. Mr. Naidu also assured to conduct an exclusive DSC for the benefit of the tribal youth. However, even after almost one year, the NDA government failed to take any action on this, the MLA said. Mr. Visweswara Rao demanded that an exclusive DSC be conducted for the tribals reserving 100% of the teacher posts in scheduled areas for the tribal candidates. Araku MP Gumma Thanuja Rani has also participated in the protest. It was learnt that the tribals have decided to continue their protest on Saturday.

Agency DSC Sadhana Committee to meet Tribal Welfare official on May 1
The leaders and members of the Agency DSC Sadhana Committee will meet Tribal Welfare Principal Secretary M.M. Nayak at the ITDA Rampachodavaram office on May 1, the committee coordinator P. Appala Narasa said here on Wednesday. The committee will take its final decision on their scheduled Manyam Bandh on May 2 based on the outcome of the meeting with Mr. Nayak on May 1, he added. Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu announced the DSC as his birthday gift on April 20, but he forgot about the special DSC that would benefit the tribals in the five ITDAs in the State with 100% percent reservation for the tribals, Mr. Narasa added. During the World Tribal Day celebrations held in Araku in Alluri Sitharama Raju district on August 9, 2024, Mr. Naidu had promised to announce the special DSC for the tribals, but he forgot his promises, Mr. Appala Narasa said. 'At least 10,000 tribal youth across the State are waiting for a special DSC, but the government is not thinking seriously about their sufferings. If the government fails to address the demand of the tribals, then this mega DSC in the State has no meaning. We will make our demand a serious issue in the State with the Manyam Bandh to be held in all the tribal mandals of the five ITDA limitson May 2,' said Mr. Appala Narasa. He added that the Sadhana Committee of ASR district staged a protest on Wednesday.
