PALAKKAD, SEPT. 9. The alleged untouchability being practised against
150 families of Chakilias, a Scheduled Caste community, in some border
villages of the district is snowballing into a major issue with three
organisations taking up their cause.

The Ambedkar Dalit Sanmarg Sanghom, Adi Thamizar Viduthalai Munnani
and the Haritha Development Association organised a mass agitation in
the area on Wednesday. They made a local barber cut the hair of a boy
from the Chakilia community on the occasion.

Kalimuthu, A. Marimuthu and Arumugan Pattachira, leaders of the
Sanghom, Viduthalai Munnani and the Haritha Association, alleged that
the members of the community were not allowed to enter some of the
temples of the area. They alleged that untouchability was being
practised at Ambedkar Colony, Pudur, Gonvidapuram, Neelipara,
Attayampathy and Chemanampathy in Muthalamada grama panchayat.
