Absolutely disgusting that all of this continues to happen under BMC's watch. Officers of @mybmcwardKW and the managers of @Lexus Mumbai must be held responsible.
After 20-25 BMC workers demanded gloves and masks in May 2021, they were accused of violating special laws imposed during the pandemic and arrested. | @sukanyashantha reports https://t.co/wNcBL3PYDh

Sanitation workers in Dharavi have not been provided masks/gloves/boots by @mybmc as they work with dangerous wastes in the time of a global pandemic. #AskMCGM to care for the workers who perform its statutory duty to keep the city clean!
The workers have to resort to using the plastic packaging that comes with bread in lieu of gloves. Where is the equipment necessary to upkeep the safety, health, and dignity of these workers?

Com. Sreedharan, secretary of @theNTUI affiliate KEU succumbed to cancer yesterday. With the passing of every experienced comrade we loose a bit of our history. We must start recording the history of such brave warriors of the working class movement.
Com. Sreedharan Amar Rahe!
The workers and activists were released after three hours. The slightest expression of dissent is curbed under the claim that we are inconveniencing the public. Are we not the public? Do our lives not matter?

Friends, the child of a sanitation worker of one of our sister unions badly needs our support. The poor ten year old has suffered from liver failure, kidney failure and is now recovering from multiple intra-cranial bleeds. Please donate generously https://t.co/yzPsagpJE3
