Dalit families in Deogarah village in Chakurtaluka of Latur allege they had demanded work under MNREGA from agriculture dept two months ago. Rather than employing villagers, the work of two farm ponds was completed within days by using heavy machinery. These Dalit farmers barely have an acre or 2 acre land. Due to drought, they cannot do farming. And, there is no work available under MNREGA. These families have now decided to hold a pradarshan and rally and force district administration to give it work under MNREGA. Else they all are ready to go to jail.
