Dear Sagar Media Inc,
They died doing their job.
Suffocation from toxic fumes, heat-stroke, drowning in sewage and disease.
Over 100 sanitation workers die every year in India because they don’t have access to proper cleaning equipment.
It is time to change that. I want to start with my city, Surendranagar in Gujarat.
Sagar Media Inc, sign my petition and tell the Collector of Surendranagar to take action against municipal officials who put these men’s lives at risk by not providing them with proper equipment.
I took a video of sanitation workers in my neighbourhood and showed it to the Municipality CEO. I was shocked at her response.
Even as she watched the video, she denied any wrongdoing on the local government’s part. She got defensive and tried to shift the blame on to private contractors.
When I hit 25,000 signatures I will take this petition to the Collector. I will ensure that these sanitation workers get their due.
Thank you for taking action,
Bipin Solanki
