Strict legal action if manual scavenging is practiced: Chief Minister

Bangalore, Feb. 1: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said that there should be no manual scavengers in the state. He warned strict legal action will be taken if anyone practices manual scavenging.

He was speaking after inaugurating the rehabilitation and distribution of subsidy to the identified manual scavengers conference in the state and a subsidy of Rs 40,000 each was distributed.

It is our party’s and Government’s commitment that civic workers should live with dignity. Therefore, I raised the salary of Safai Karmacharis from 7 thousand to 17 thousand immediately after becoming the Chief Minister for the first time. Manual scavenging is not allowed in the state for any reason. He warned that legal action will be taken if anyone practices that.
