In Padmapur village of Rayagada district, eight families have been socially boycotted for marrying outside their caste. The villagers have prohibited them from attending any social events and are allegedly threatening others who keep contact with them. Affected families, totaling around 15-20 over the years, have finally approached the District Collector's grievance cell seeking justice and intervention against this long-standing discrimination. https://otvkhabar.in/odisha/eight-families-allegedly-ostracized-in-rayagada-village-over-inter-caste-marriages-seek-administrative-justice-and-protection-11850344 #creator program
