Minister for Municipal Administration KT Rama Rao was very serious over the way men are being used for cleaning the man holes in city.<\/p>\n
KTR wanted the hi-tech machinery to be used to clean the sewers instead of human beings entering the holes and losing their lives in the process.<\/p>\n
Commenting on the recent manhole tragedy at Ayyappa Society, the state\u2019s minister said this week that focus must return on the use of equipment for the job.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have directed the officials from the city\u2019s Sewerage Board not to permit manual cleaning of manholes; they should instead use equipment to avoid such unfortunate incidents, necessary precautionary measures should be taken.\u201d<\/p>\n
A sensitising training programme was conducted for sewerage workers of HMWS&SB on the use of safety equipment and the need for taking safety measures while dealing with sewerage problems. On August 13, three people died inside a manhole near Ayyappa Society in the city.<\/p>\n
Several incidents of this kind occurred from time to time, but no one thought of replacement of manual cleaning with the hi-tech equipment.<\/p>\n
The dynamic KTR ruled out using humans for this work and said that only machines will clean the sewers from now on which is a good sign for the workers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
