The Kula Vivaksha Vyatireka Porata Sangham (KVPS) has formally requested an inquiry from the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) regarding the demolition of the Gonthenamma temple in Pedapeta village, located in West Godavari district, Andhra Pradesh, India. The group's State general secretary, Andra Malyadri, raised concerns that the demolition took place during a late-night operation with significant police presence, instilling fear among local Dalit families. He alleged that police were stationed around Dalit homes and exerting pressure on these families regarding their residential rights. According to KVPS, these Dalit families have been residing on government land for almost 80 years, and instead of regularizing their habitation, there are attempts to force them off the land. The organization highlighted serious implications for constitutional rights, including the right to shelter, dignity, equality, and freedom of worship, and called for immediate NHRC intervention. They also requested assurances of safety for the affected families and a thorough investigation into the actions of officials and public representatives linked to this issue.
