•CAN MODI JI REALLY HELP SAFAI STAFF PLEASE?•
Washing The Feet is Fine (all Catholic Priests do it on Maundy Thursday) but take a look here too…
On #THERKBSHOW with Workers’ Union Leader #MilindRanade and Adv Pradeep Nambiar at Chembur; just a glimpse into the Hellish conditions they survive in on #NEWSWORLDINDIA….
“Statistically, it is safer to be a soldier serving in Kashmir than a sewer worker in India”
*According to the South Asia Terrorism Portal, which keeps tabs on terrorism-related casualties, 411 security personnel died in J&K between 2010 and Aug. 27, 2017.
*This means that since 2010, the insurgency in Kashmir has claimed, on average, 51 men in uniform every year.
*Magsaysay award-winner Bezwada Wilson’s Safai Karmachari Andolan has been collecting data on those who dive into putrid sewer lines only to be tragically fished out as corpses.
*Since 2010, there have been 356 such deaths, or about 44 every year.
*I hope #Modiji won’t stop at just washing the feet of cleaning staff but will in fact release funds required on an emergency basis to stop manual cleaning of choked up sewers (that are death traps) and switch to machine cleaning as is done in most developed nations!
•Will you join us in a petition to the PM kindly to release enough funds so that cleaning workers don’t have to dive into putrid, poisonous and death dealing sewers and be fished out as corpses?•
