Safai karmcharis filed a PIL in 2003 in which they stated that manual cleaning of human excreta, known as manual scavenging, is still operational in some government institutions, including railways.
They complained that they have to remove waste using brooms and tin plates, fill it in the baskets, and carry it on their heads to throw in the disposal grounds.
They stated that this is an inhuman exploitation of their fundamental rights, and actions must be taken to rid them of such ill treatment.
