The Lambada Hakkula Porata Samitha (LHPS) and the Irrigation Department SC/ST Welfare Association have demanded that Engineer-in-Chief and Deputy Engineer-in-Chief of Irrigation Department, Narayan Reddy and Ramakrishna respectively be placed under suspension immediately. They have accused the duo of violating the Rule of Reservation with consequential seniority.
Speaking to mediapersons here on Tuesday, LHPS President Bellaiah Nayak said in spite of repeated representations to the duo to implement rule of reservation, no action has been taken. He said when they finally went to court and got a positive judgement, Narayan Reddy did not bother to implement the court’s verdict. He reportedly submitted in-charge list of Superintending Engineers to Chief Engineers and Executive Engineers’ list to Superintending Engineers and to the Government without implementing the directions given by the High Court.
“This is a clear violation of the constitutional rights of the oppressed classes, said K.Yadgiri, AP SC Welfare Association president. He said they were ready to take necessary action to ensure that justice was delivered to the suppressed.
J. Vijayanand, P. Krishna, president, ID SC/ST WA, Laxman Nayak, secretary were also present. (NSS)
