Special Correspondent
VILLUPURAM: The Dalit Social Audit Forum has alleged that the atrocities and discrimination against the Dalits are rampant in Tamil Nadu, and the authorities are either ignorant or negligent of the problems.

So, the forum will conduct a public hearing on these cases at the ICSA Centre, Pantheon Road, Chennai, on October 10, according to V.A. Rameshnathan, Director, Social Awareness Society for Youths. In a statement released here, Mr. Rameshnathan said the forum was set up under the aegis of the European Initiative, Democracy and Human Rights. The jury would include D .Ravikumar, MLA of the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi; Prof. Kalyani; Ossie Fernandez, Director, Human Rights Federation; Geetha, an advocate of the Madras High Court; Anbuselvan of the Tamil Nadu Theological Seminary; Parthasarathy, director of the National Project on Prevention of Torture; and Ravichandran of the Human Rights Federation for Dalit Liberation.
