Mumbai, March 14: Maharashtra Minister for Social Justice, Sanjay Shirsat on Friday said that a decision has been taken to induct eligible persons from the family of the deceased in atrocity cases involving Scheduled Castes and Tribes, particularly in cases of murder or death related to atrocities, into government service under the Social Justice Department.

He informed that there are approximately 889 pending cases of atrocities against Scheduled Caste and Tribe citizens, of which 144 cases are related to tribals. The government is serious about this matter, and if injustice occurs, a case will certainly be registered; however, the government will also take appropriate decisions to ensure that innocent persons are not falsely implicated. Waris Pathan Condemns Atrocities Against Hindu Minorities in Bangladesh, Questions Violence Against Muslim Minorities in India; Opposes India–Pakistan Cricket Matches.
