Not that other states are different. This is an all India shame.
But no other state boasted a ‘Nirmal Gujarat’ 17 years ago!.
And nine years after the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan!
Manual scavenging of human excreta: ‘A spiritual experience’ for a gentleman!
The recent deaths of 11 people including 3 children should be read as an ongoing bizarre practice forced by the systems every where.
Health-Related Problems: The scavengers are exposed to gases such as carbon dioxide, ammonia and methane. Long exposure to these gases may lead to serious health diseases or even death. They are also exposed to various infections in the sewer, which is also common due to the numerous bacteria residing in the sewers.
As per recent data by the government, 97 percent of manual scavengers in India are Dalits. Why this discrimination,
Although laws are in place to abolish the manual scavenging as unacceptable why the governments are not rising to the occasion?
How long do we force one community to inhale and choke in the filth of shits to die. The pictures scary and it must shame the entire nation.
The data showed that of the 233 people who had died in these incidents, 199 had so far been provided compensation as per Supreme Court guidelines set out in 2014. The data also showed that the number of such deaths was 117 in 2019, 19 in 2020 and 49 in 2021.
