A team of the National Commission for Scheduled Castes (NCSC) headed by its chairman Vijay Sampla on Thursday visited Bihar to take stock of discrimination and atrocities faced by Dalits and measures taken for their welfare.

On the first of the two-day visit, Sampla met MPs and MLAs belonging to the Scheduled Castes, besides state government officials and representatives from social organisations.

According to an official release, instances of “atrocities and institutional discrimination and social exclusion” faced by the “SC community in the state” were flagged by political leaders and social activists.

Post-lunch, the NCSC delegation held a meeting with government officials, led by Chief Secretary Amir Subhani.
