The Hindu  

Some of the conservancy workers in the Greater Chennai Corporation are still being seen segregating waste and desilting catch pits and storm-water drains without safety gear. Shyamala B., a Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana-National Urban Livelihoods Mission worker in zone 5, said they had not been provided with safety gear by the civic body. Regional Deputy Commissioner Katta Ravi Teja mentioned that there was no shortage of safety gear, but only a lack of awareness, even among workers of the Corporation in zones 1, 2, and 3. There is no strict regulation on use of safety gear hence many don’t use it,” he added, requesting anonymity.
