During the protest, another member KC Gupta said, “The MC authorities should take extreme steps, so that no sewer suffers any problem after entering into the manhole. They should provide safety kits to the sewer men.”

He said, “If government fails to fulfill our demands, then we will be forced to intensify our agitation.”
