Ending Manual Scavenging - Inputs Needed
We would like to seek your inputs on how through building toilets, technology, process and monitoring, manual scavenging can be abolished.
FYI..Though the parliament had enacted an act in 1993 banning manual scavenging of household toilets along with a year's jain and a fine of Rs 2000 for anyone engaging manual scavengers, not a single person was prosecuted. In 2013, the definition was widened to include manual removal of excreta from sewers and railway tracks and punishment was increased to 5 years in jail.
We look forward to your inputs!
