Udupi,Karnataka, Feb 3 (UNI) The Mogaveera Yuva Sanghtane today wanted the government to include fishing community in Karnataka in the Scheduled Caste (SC) list without further delay.

They criticised the Karnataka Governor for turning deaf ears to their demands.

Parliamentarian and All India Koll (Kabbaliga) Samaj President Satyanarayana Pawar said the fishing community was economically, socially and educationally backward and their uplift was possible only by including them in the SC list.
