Himachal Pradesh govt announced setting up a Commission for upper castes, on the lines of Madhya Pradesh. The Commission, to be named as ‘Samanya Varg Aayog’, will be formalized through a legislative enactment in three months.
A Scheduled Caste Commission is already in operation in Himachal Pradesh and is chaired by former Shimla MP Virendra Kashyap. The Commission is being formed considering the long-pending demand of the people belonging to the general category for a body to redress their grievances, Thakur said.
