A campaign for the safety of safai karamcharis known as "Safai Karamchari Jeevan Suraksha Abhiyan'' has been launched to highlight the dangerous and at times even fatal working conditions of safai karmcharis in general and sewer workers in particular in the country. Aimed at sensitising the wider populace about the inhuman conditions in which these people work, the campaign will involve staging of street plays, distributing pamphlets and holding of public meetings of affected persons as well as other concerned citizens.
