Karnal, May 29
Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar today assured the members of the Pal community (Gadaria Samaj) that the government would recommend inclusion of the community in the SC category. At present, the community is included in the BC-A category.
Addressing the gathering at a state-level function organised to mark the 291st anniversary of Devi Ahilyabai Holker by the Haryana Pal (Gadaria) Samaj at the grain market here, the CM announced to include Holker’s biography in school curriculum.
Responding to the demands raised by the community representatives, Khattar asked the community members to identify one chowk each in Karnal and Yamunanagar, so that these could be named after Holker.
“The state government has constituted a board for the welfare of people belonging to de-notified and nomadic tribes in the state. The Pal community would get benefits such as loans for rearing cattle,” the CM said.
