Madras High Court urges mindset shift to end discrimination in sharing public water resources

The Madras High Court stressed the need for a mindset change to eliminate discrimination in sharing public resources. Justice RN Manjula appreciated government measures to ensure equal access to water taps after SC community members were made to wait for their turn.

The State issued directions to district officials to provide sufficient water connections, prevent unfair hoarding, and enforce the SC/ST Atrocities Act.

The Court also urged community involvement of younger generations, citing the Tenkasi village model, to instil unity in diversity.

The plea was then closed.
