GORKHA, JUL 08 -

Pida VDC-5 in Dhading district remained tense for the past five days as local non-Dalits allegedly attacked Dalits over an issue of inter-caste marriage.

At least 14 Dalits were injured, two of them seriously, during a clash on Tuesday. Shyam Bahadur Magrati, a Dalit rights activist, told the Post that 14 Dalit people have been displaced from the village. The tension arose in the village following the inter-cast marriage of Navaraj Sunar and Samjhana Subedi.
