Karnataka: Govt opens barber shop in Gadag for Dalits

A barber shop has opened in Shingatalur village, Karnataka. This follows years of Dalits being denied shaving services by upper caste barbers. The initiative ensures access to basic services and promotes social equality. Authorities intervened after Dalits faced difficulties and had to travel to other villages. The new shop provides services without discrimination, restoring dignity and equal access for residents.
