  • Belagavi: As protests escalated in Belagavi over its demand for inclusion in the 2A Category of Other Backward Classes, the Panchamasali community staged a massive demonstration on Tuesday, pressing the Siddaramaiah government to address the issue promptly.

The Panchamasali community in Karnataka is protesting in Belagavi to demand inclusion in the 2A category of the state's reservation system, which would grant them a higher percentage of reservation in education and employment. Currently, they fall under the 3B category, which offers a lower reservation percentage. The community has been agitating for this change for over two years, arguing that their socio-economic conditions warrant a higher reservation. Despite assurances from Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, who has promised to address their demands after the Lok Sabha elections, the community remains dissatisfied with the lack of immediate action. The protest has seen significant participation, with community members expressing frustration over the government's delay in fulfilling their long-standing demand for better representation and opportunities.
