Massive Protest for Implementation of Internal Reservation

We organized a massive protest on 23.10.2024 at 11:00 AM under the banner of Davanagere District Madiga and Chalavadi Communities Federation in Harihar. The protest was conducted demanding the immediate implementation of internal reservation for Scheduled Castes as per the historic Supreme Court judgment. Community leaders highlighted that despite several commission reports, the government has delayed action for many years. Thousands of Dalit activists, youth, elders, students, and women participated in the agitation. Through this protest, we strongly urged the State Government to implement internal reservation without further delay.
