Bhim Army’s State Core Committee member Rahul Valmiki said, tehsildar has issued notices to 13 landowners of Mahakal Area. A Dalit family's home is also getting affected with this order. For years this family has been living at this home and now the administration is harassing the family by serving notice. Valmiki said that the government will have to bear the consequences if the well-being family is harmed. Valmiki has demanded compensation for the death of Vicky Birwan on August 10, 2019 in Nilganga police station area. Birwan was shot dead by the bullies.
