In Jhalawad, Rajasthan, 7 tribal children died last year after the school roof fell down.

Bengaluru got rid of public dustbins altogether (instead of just supplementing with door to door collection) in the late 90s or early 2000s because the BATF said “no one wants a dustbin in front of their house”
Will Shaw take accountability for her own poor decision making?
Pourakarmikas of the city should go on a complete strike for two days. Elite pricks like madam here can give a firsthand demonstration of ‘responsible workmanship’.
The arrogance and the gall to speak like this!
@aicctukar@krishnabgowda@clifroz No one is intimidating- is it wrong to ask people to do their work? Where is your work ethic. People like you are the reason why our civic services are broken.
There isn't an issue that gets all plutocrats on the same page as exploitation of working people with little power. No empathy for their contractual labour and poor paid status. No understanding that upper caste contractors are responsible. And yes, collective punishment. Bravo!!

Do the simple maths and calculate how much waste one sanitary worker has to collect every day.
@krishnabgowda comes and
First you create a situation of contract workers not employees coz you want to pay less, offer no protections. Then you don’t pursue the contractors for non payment of dues to contracted workers. Then you’re dismissive when asked to regularize. This is the caste system at work.
