Delhi Jal Board accused of enabling manual scavenging
Despite a 2013 ban, manual scavenging continues in Delhi, with the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) facing criticism. Workers, hired through contractors, are forced into dangerous sewers under threat of job loss. Sanitation worker Rohit died after entering a manhole, and his wife Pinky seeks justice. Critics blame DJB's outsourcing of sewer cleaning to private contractors as the root problem.
