Bollywood Megastar Amitabh Bachchan buys Machines for Manual Scavengers

Mumbai: Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan has fulfilled a promise he made to help manual scavengers by arranging machines. “At the NDTV Cleanathon ‘Banega Swachh India’, seeing the inhuman plight of the manual scavenger, I had committed to buy 50 machines for them. Today I fulfilled that promise! 25 small individual machines and one large truck machine gifted to BMC,” Amitabh tweeted early on Sunday.

In a letter dated November 24, and addressed to the Manual Scavengers Association (MSA) and the BrihanMumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), the actor said he wanted to do something to prevent manual scavengers from physically and manually going down the manholes and sewer drainages. (IANS)
