One manual scavenging death every five days: Official data

(Full report on the above report: https://indianexpress.com/article/india/official-data-shows-one-manual-scavenging-death-every-five-days-5361531/?fbclid=IwAR1aBB9olC0Ieh33rQsAHU00w9gk1YlW8FzRuhE3XAt3WOV9PJ-wQdpViDQ)

It is clear that the data given is awfully incomplete & the death could be more than double!
Why this apathy to the sweepers, scavenge cleaners, who are sacrificing their lives for barely "Two meals per day" & cleaning other's excreta & filth, where a normal human being refuses to pass by?
It is also evident that all the governments of various political parties in power have made no effort to change this dark age manual cleaning to mechanical cleaning, which is available in the market. Yes, the expenditure on automation, machine, worker's training & their wages will rise substantially.
This also makes abundantly clear that the governments do no mind waiving off Lakhs of Crores of outstanding loans & unpaid taxes of billionaires but mind very much in spending money, where the lives of the workers can be saved & made more comfortable!
This can be seen in vanishing employment as well reduction in wages of the workers due direct reduction or through rising inflation, taxes, etc!
Also, our Lawmakers do not hesitate in hiking their pay, perks, pension 4 times & do so without seeking nod from the people, who voted them to power!
Something grossly wrong? Yes. The present economic, political, social, legal, spiritual order is not meant to serve the workers, peasants who are more than 90-95% of the population but to serve the interests of the super elites, oligarchs & their henchmen, top officials & agents & even foreign masters!
The last inference can be seen in daily news & analysis coming from the legislative, executive, judiciary, media, and all other government departments, pillars of the "democracy"!
Should the progressive & revolutionary forces remain behind the curtain & await for opportune moment?
That moment is now! To bury the present & establish a just society!
