Is our Govt really serious about the pandemic, does not seem to be. Last year I started this petition that Sanitation workers are at a great risk with our open bin garbage disposal methods.
The Parliament was unable to provide details of deaths of Sanitation workers due to Covid, which you can read here https://www.downtoearth.org.in/news/governance/as-told-to-parliament-september-16-2020-no-data-on-sanitation-worker-deaths-amid-covid-19-73404
However there has been no change on the stance of the Govt on garbage disposal methodology. We want to be the nation with 5 Trillion dollar economy by 2024 but don't have automated covered garbage disposal trucks. The sanitation workers are exposed to germs, effusing gases from putrefying garbage on a daily basis and garbage spilling on the roads. Is this the face of a future 5 trillion dollar economy??
