Supreme Court Takes Note of Manual Scavenging at Its Gate

The Supreme Court saw pictures of people cleaning at its gate in a dangerous way.

The court is already looking at a case about people having to manually clean things, which is against the law.

The court has told the East Delhi Municipal Corporation to explain why they are still using people to do this dangerous work.

If the corporation's explanation isn't good enough, the court might make the police investigate.

The court has said before that manual scavenging should be stopped completely.

The court also said that families of those who die cleaning sewers should be paid a lot of money.
