Manual scavenging is our people going into sewers with bare hands because municipalities won’t buy suction machines. They still die from the gas—not just lack of machines, but because contractors rush us and cut corners on safety gear to save money. They *have* machines sitting in godowns, but why pay for diesel when they can pay us less? My friend Satish died in a choked line near Caranzalem because the officer said "five minutes only, no need for harness." I clean my uniform every night, but that smell never really leaves you.
