&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Every sanitation worker&amp;rsquo;s life in India is a nightmare on any ordinary day. Add to this the callousness of administrations leaving them to face the virus without gear and training and the result is pure hell.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Bokaro (Jharkhand): &lt;/em&gt;As the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic tightens its grip on the country, the Chas Municipal Corporation in Jharkhand&amp;rsquo;s Bokaro district appears to have learned a few things from the last time around. Its sanitation workers have better working conditions now than they did in the first wave of the novel coronavirus. Although not all their needs have been met, the sanitation workers not only have access to personal protective equipment (PPE) this year, but some of their work-related issues have had a favourable resolution as well.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Unfortunately, the sanitation workers at a government-owned company in Bokaro district of Jharkhand continue to suffer the same abysmal working conditions that have persisted for many years. Their working conditions worsened in the first wave of the pandemic last year and they remain atrocious in this deadly second wave.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Every sanitation worker&amp;rsquo;s life in India is hell on any ordinary day and the situation only worsens in a pandemic. Even though the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) guidelines state that supervisors should brief the sanitation workers regularly (weekly or fortnightly) to combat fear and stigma, advise them on best practices and address queries related to COVID-19, none of this actually takes place. There is usually an absence of PPE, for instance, or unequal access to it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The sanitation workers at the Bokaro company were not just left to fend for themselves last year, they were thrust into greater danger even as the government lauded them as COVID-19 warriors. This year nothing has changed.&lt;/p&gt;

Its sanitation workers have better working conditions now than they did in the first wave of the novel coronavirus. Although not all their needs have been met, the sanitation workers not only have access to personal protective equipment (PPE) this year, but some of their work-related issues have had a favourable resolution as well.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Unfortunately, the sanitation workers at a government-owned company in Bokaro district of Jharkhand continue to suffer the same abysmal working conditions that have persisted for many years. Their working conditions worsened in the first wave of the pandemic last year and they remain atrocious in this deadly second wave.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Every sanitation worker&amp;rsquo;s life in India is hell on any ordinary day and the situation only worsens in a pandemic. Even though the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) guidelines state that supervisors should brief the sanitation workers regularly (weekly or fortnightly) to combat fear and stigma, advise them on best practices and address queries related to COVID-19, none of this actually takes place. There is usually an absence of PPE, for instance, or unequal access to it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The sanitation workers at the Bokaro company were not just left to fend for themselves last year, they were thrust into greater danger even as the government lauded them as COVID-19 warriors.

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Every sanitation worker&amp;rsquo;s life in India is a nightmare on any ordinary day. Add to this the callousness of administrations leaving them to face the virus without gear and training and the result is pure hell.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Bokaro (Jharkhand): &lt;/em&gt;As the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic tightens its grip on the country, the Chas Municipal Corporation in Jharkhand&amp;rsquo;s Bokaro district appears to have learned a few things from the last time around. Its sanitation workers have better working conditions now than they did in the first wave of the novel coronavirus. Although not all their needs have been met, the sanitation workers not only have access to personal protective equipment (PPE) this year, but some of their work-related issues have had a favourable resolution as well.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Unfortunately, the sanitation workers at a government-owned company in Bokaro district of Jharkhand continue to suffer the same abysmal working conditions that have persisted for many years. Their working conditions worsened in the first wave of the pandemic last year and they remain atrocious in this deadly second wave.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Every sanitation worker&amp;rsquo;s life in India is hell on any ordinary day and the situation only worsens in a pandemic. Even though the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) guidelines state that supervisors should brief the sanitation workers regularly (weekly or fortnightly) to combat fear and stigma, advise them on best practices and address queries related to COVID-19, none of this actually takes place. There is usually an absence of PPE, for instance, or unequal access to it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The sanitation workers at the Bokaro company were not just left to fend for themselves last year, they were thrust into greater danger even as the government lauded them as COVID-19 warriors. This year nothing has changed.&lt;/p&gt;

Glorified as ‘COVID Warriors’, Sanitation Workers Suffer Worst of All in the Pandemic -Sanchita

-TheWire.in Every sanitation worker’s life in India is a nightmare on any ordinary day. Add to this the callousness of administrations leaving them to face the virus without gear and training and the result is pure hell. Bokaro (Jharkhand): As the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic tightens its grip on the country, the Chas Municipal Corporation in Jharkhand’s Bokaro district appears to have learned a few things from the last time around. Its sanitation workers have better working conditions now than they did in the first wave of the novel coronavirus. Although not all their needs have been met, the sanitation workers not only have access to personal protective equipment (PPE) this year, but some of their work-related issues have had a favourable resolution as well. Unfortunately, the sanitation workers at a government-owned company in Bokaro district of Jharkhand continue to suffer the same abysmal working conditions that have persisted for many years. Their working conditions worsened in the first wave of the pandemic last year and they remain atrocious in this deadly second wave. Every sanitation worker’s life in India is hell on any ordinary day and the situation only worsens in a pandemic. Even though the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) guidelines state that supervisors should brief the sanitation workers regularly (weekly or fortnightly) to combat fear and stigma, advise them on best practices and address queries related to COVID-19, none of this actually takes place. There is usually an absence of PPE, for instance, or unequal access to it. The sanitation workers at the Bokaro company were not just left to fend for themselves last year, they were thrust into greater danger even as the government lauded them as COVID-19 warriors. This year nothing has changed. Please click here to read more.
