Conservancy workers in Madurai clean rail coach toilets barehanded
MADURAI: Conservancy workers under contract in Madurai Railway Division made a shocking revelation that they were forced to clean train toilets with bare hands since contractors had not given them safety gear.
They presented video evidence during a review meeting conducted by National Commission for Safai Karamcharis chairman M Venkatesan at Railway Kalyana Mandapam on Monday evening.
As the meeting commenced, Venkatesan asked all the supervisors and managers of contract companies to leave the hall. He asked the workers to tell the problems they faced.
The workers narrated their ordeal that they were paid a very meagre salary. They said they were made to work the whole month without weekly offs.
