Manual scavenging continues in different forms in Adilabad

Deccan Chronicle  

ADILABAD: The banned manual scavenging is continuing in the municipalities in the erstwhile Adilabad district despite the governmental claims to stop this practice. The sanitation workers may not clean the wet toilets but they clean the drainages into which shit flows in various ways. “In practice, the sanitation workers of the municipality clean the drainages in which the human excreta flows from the toilets. Adilabad municipal officials are not providing safety gear to the sanitation workers cleaning the drainages. The workers engaged in cleaning drainages and removing carcasses of animals are prone to life risks, compared to other sanitation workers.
