💨 Abstract

A 43-year-old manual scavenger died, and two others were injured while cleaning a sewer in New Friends Colony, Delhi. Despite the nationwide ban on manual scavenging, NGOs emphasize that workers are still being employed for this dangerous work due to lack of enforcement and proper equipment. They call for strict action against those hiring laborers for this practice and the establishment of a dedicated committee to prevent further incidents.
