Question

what is manual scavenging? how is it against the Constitutional principles?

Answer 1

Manual scavenging refers to the practice of manually cleaning, carrying, disposing or handling in any manner, human excreta from loos to a degradation area.
Manual scavenging has always been linked to the practice of untouchability, but Article 17 of the Constitution of India abolishes the continuation of such practices. The Act forbidding the employment of manual scavengers and construction of dry toilets has existed since 1993 but it has seen little or no implementation and furthermore, not a single conviction. For a more comprehensive approach towards the issue and a stricter execution of the act, a new bill was drafted in 2012
