Bengaluru Woman Booked for Obstructing Caste Survey
In Bengaluru, a woman got in trouble for yelling at government workers.
The workers were going door-to-door in an apartment building to ask people about their caste for a survey.
The government is doing this to help certain groups of people get a fair chance in society.
The woman's actions caused delays in the survey because other people in the apartment building had to be asked to help.
The survey's been taking longer than expected because it's hard to collect information in busy cities.
A Bengaluru woman was booked for allegedly verbally abusing BBMP officials during a caste survey.
The incident occurred at an apartment in HSR Layout while officials collected data on June 23.
The BBMP officials were collecting data for a survey of sub-castes within Scheduled Castes.
The survey is part of the government's plan to provide internal reservations.
The survey's completion has been delayed due to difficulties in data collection in urban areas.
