Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday said his government will provide free safety kits to sanitation workers, hoping there will be no sewer deaths in the city in future.
Speaking at a workshop organised by the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) on sewer safety and awareness of the field level sewer workers, Kejriwal said the safety kit will be given to every worker who works for the cleaning of the sewers.
“We will ensure that free kit is given to everyone so that even if the contractor doesn”t provide you with the gear, you use your own gear to stay safe,” said Kejriwal, who is also the Chairman of DJB.
