Residents of Sirisiya Mahadalit Tola staged a protest at the Kargahar block office in Sasaram, Rohtas district, alleging bias in the distribution of uniforms at a local Anganwadi centre. On May 18, parents were called to the centre to sign distribution registers and received uniforms for 14 children enrolled there. However, the following day, officials claimed that the children were not officially enrolled and ordered them to return home without the uniforms. This led to allegations of discrimination and intimidation against the Mahadalit families. Protesters expressed their frustration, stating that many could not file written complaints due to illiteracy, which resulted in a tense confrontation with officials. Baban Musahar, who led the protest, indicated that if no action is taken, they would escalate the matter to the SC/ST Commission in Patna. Block Development Officer Ajit Kumar noted that the issue falls under the jurisdiction of the Child Development Project Officer, as the child development project office has been operating from a rented building for nearly two months. The situation has drawn media attention, further complicating relations between the community and local authorities.
