Jaipur: A complaint involving alleged discrimination during the distribution of midday meals in some schools in Rajasthan has been received by the National Commission for Scheduled Castes (NCSC). The NCSC will host a review meeting of several state government departments in Jaipur on August 24 and 25, according to NCSC Chairman Vijay Sampla, who alleged that crimes against Dalits in Rajasthan had increased.
