Bhubaneswar: (visakeo)-Justice on Trial, a Gujarat-based organisation, on Thursday urged both Central and State Governments to extend the CRPF deployment in the riot-hit areas of Kandhamal till total normalcy is restored.
The organisation, which released a report of its fact-finding team under the chairmanship of Additional Advocate General of Rajasthan Guru Charan Singh Gill over the recent violence in Kandhamal, however, termed the incident as a caste conflict and mismanagement in reservation policy lead to anger among the tribal. Former Punjab DGP PC Dogra, social activists Nafia Hussain, MK Andhare and Ram Kishor Pansari were among those in the fact-finding team.
The team after discussing the issue and visiting the affected site released the report and demanded adequate compensation for the riot affected people. "Dispute among ST and SC, dispute among Kandh, Kui and Pana were several key fact led to violence," fact finding team chairman Gill said. The Centre has agreed to Orissa Government's request to retain all the seven battalions of Central Reserve Police Force in violence-hit Kandhamal till March 15.
Demanding tough measures to regulate activities of foreign funded NGOs operating in riot-hit Kandhamal district, the organisation called for an open debate on conversion, terming it as the 'root cause' of unrest in the tribal dominated areas. "We urged the Government to probe fake caste (ST) certificates fraudulently obtained by non-tribals. I also demanded action against the people who obtained such fake certificates and got government jobs," Gill said. Former IAS officer Biswanath Rath, former IPS officer Ashok Sahoo and Prasant Rout were among those present.
