Around 15 Dalit families at Kalasavalli in Sagar taluk, who migrated to Karnataka, decades ago have been denied basic facilities and government benefits as they do not have any identity cards, including Aadhar. Their attempts to get residential proofs from the local panchayat have failed.
The families claim to have been staying put at Kalasavalli Camp in Tumari Gram Panchayat limits for the past two-three decades. Several of them were born here. They work on others’ plantations for a living.
