A notice by a housing society named Milan Park in Gujarat has sparked outrage among netizens on Twitter due to its alleged casteist remarks. The notice was shared by several netizens on Twitter. It stated that there had been complaints about flats being rented to single men and women of different castes. The notice stated, "By giving this notice, the instructions is hereby given to flat owner that the girls and boys of different castes staying in their flats should be vacated within thirty days otherwise we will immediately make police complaint and as decided by the committee, the parking, garbage and cleaning facilities provided to them in the society will be stopped with immediate effect." 

The notice said that this was in absolute "violation" of the rules.

It’s 2023 and parts of India continue to blatantly practice casteism. It’s sickening. @CMOGuj #Extremists https://t.co/zqCgPHSp7s
