Salt pan workers

Article-51 A(e) also talks about the renunciation of “practices derogatory to the dignity of women” (“ >The struggle to produce the salt of life ,” June 25). But how do such things happen in salt pans? That there are no covered toilets and that women have to leave for home at unearthly hours is antithetical to the dignity of women. Let us hope that the Tamil Nadu’s government salt project will ensure the upholding of the dignity of women.
