Pune: Dhangars vandalise office over quota
Updated On: 25 August, 2018 07:51 AM IST | Pune | Chaitraly Deshmukh
Dhangars enjoy reservation under the nomadic tribe (NT) category, which is entitled to 3.5 per cent quota. However, they are demanding that they be included in ST category

The Dhangars damaged property and also threw bhandara (turmeric) all over
The Maratha communities' protests for reservation are on 'hold,' but now the Dhangar community has begun agitating violently in Maharashtra. On Friday, its members vandalised the Tribal Research and Training Institute, at Queens Garden.
They claimed the institute has mislead the community as it has declared reservation but not given it. The protesters justified their actions by claiming that they were teaching the department a lesson.
