Bengaluru-Pasavanapura Ward, Samruti Leh — Out, a video of two laborers cleaning a drain has gone viral on social media. At Samruti Leh — Out, on the main road connecting Shikehalli to Belathar, Basavanapura Ward, Puram, Bengaluru KR. Two days ago, around 11:30 am, two laborers went down into the drain and cleaned it. Social activists Belathur Paramesh and Jagan Kumar noticed this. Immediately, the President, Governor, Chief Secretary, Labor Welfare Department and Social Welfare Department filed a complaint through e-mail. But it was not right for the authorities to keep two laborers in the sewer to clean it. The water board officials and the contractor are responsible for this incident. There are machines to clean the drains. Without using these, workers have been dropped. We saw them shoveling waste into the deep drain with bare hands and buckets, so we rescued him. He said, an official of the Drinking Water Board said: The work of distributing Cauvery drinking water to 110 villages of Bangalore is going on. Plastering work is going on for the new drains. These drains are yet to be connected to sewage treatment tanks. The recent heavy rains have filled the drains and workers may have drained them. They have given wrong information regarding the incident. We have informed the authorities about the incident, he said.
