Members of the Rajaka community staged a protest in Visakhapatnam demanding recognition as a Scheduled Caste.
The Rajaka community organized a protest in the coastal city of Visakhapatnam, demanding that they be granted Scheduled Caste status. The demonstration took place on a public square where community leaders addressed the crowd, outlining their grievances and calling for government action. Local authorities were present to maintain order, but the protestors remained peaceful throughout the event. The community has cited historical marginalization and lack of access to affirmative action benefits as reasons for their demand. The government has yet to respond to the protestors' plea.
