More than 500 Adivasi students under the banner of Adivasi Yuwa Chatra Sangathan and SC/ST Students Union rallied and protested against the appointment of ‘General category’ wardens in SC/ST hostels.
Students began their protest march towards the residence of Chhattisgarh's CM Raman Singh, however police stopped them at OCM square, where the students raised slogans for the fulfilment of their demands.
Mahesh Netam, Yogesh Thakur and others members of the student union argued that in an Adivasi dominated state, such appointment is injustice to the people from SC/ST communities.
Student claimed that Government of Indian has established Tribal Development Departments for the welfare of SC/ST community. However, Chhattisgarh government is not ready to provide its command to the SC/ST people.
Appointment of a wardens from ‘General Category’ in the SC/ST hostels is unacceptable. Students alleged that these wardens neither understand the issues nor the culture of their community therefore they are demanding for the allocation of SC/ST wardens in these hostels.
Moreover, protestors warned that if their demands are not fulfilled then they might take radical steps.
