Violent protests have marred the nationwide bandh called by various Dalit organisations against the alleged dilution of the SC/ST(Prevention of Atrocities) Act by the Supreme Court.
Even as the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government has filed a review petition against the verdict, the burning of vehicles, rail roko agitations and various other blockades continue to be in place across various parts of the country.
Punjab, which has the highest number of Dalit population in the country, is practically at the forefront of the agitations.
In Madhya Pradesh's Morena, where protesters blocked a railway track, curfew was imposed after one person died in the agitations, while section 144 (prohibits assembly of more than four people in the area) was imposed in Gwalior and Sagar, respectively.
