While everyone is speaking about the doctors and nurses, who are most definitely working on the frontlines and whose services are, of course, laudable during this pandemic, it is necessary for us to remember the frontline workers who are often neglected – the Safai Karamcharis / Sanitation Workers, the D-Group workers in hospitals, ASHA Workers and Crematorium workers.
With an increase in the number of COVID-19 cases and deaths during the 2nd wave of the pandemic, the country is facing an inordinate stress on crematoriums and cemeteries for disposal of the dead. We continue to hear the news of how local authorities are identifying mass cremation centers to deal with the situation or how electric crematoriums are breaking down due to the load and cities are running out of burial space.
बंगलौर के सफाई मजदूरों ने ‘‘बीबीएमपी गुटिगे पौरकार्मिकार संघ’’ (संबद्ध ऐक्टू) के बैनर तले 9 जुलाई 2019 को प्रतिवाद संगठित करके कर्नाटक के वन विभाग के एक सहायक वन संरक्षक पीएन हर्षवर्धन के खिलाफ कार्रवाई करने की मांग की. हर्षवर्धन ने कहा था कि सफाई मजदूरों को यह समझाने के लिये कि कूड़ाघर की कैसी सफाई होनी चाहिये, उन्हें सड़ांधभरे कूड़ाघर के बगल में भोजन करने पर मजबूर किया जायेगा! उन्होंने कहा था कि ‘हमने उनके (सफाई मजदूरों के) लिये भोजन करने की जगह का इंतजाम कर लिया है और वह है कूड़ाघर के मुख्य द्वार के नजदीक, ताकि वे महसूस कर सकें कि यह कितना दुर्गंध देता है.
