The Delhi High Court directed all the municipal and civic bodies in the city to inform it about the welfare schemes as well as equipment being provided to sanitation workers, noting that no one appeared to be bothered about their plight.
A Bench of Acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice C Hari Shankar ordered the authorities to find out about illness and injuries suffered by the workers in their line of work, and place the data before the court on September 19.
“No one is bothered about these people,” it said.
