Swept Under The Carpet: Stories Of Criminal Neglect Of Powrakarmikas Across Karnataka During The COVID-19 Pandemic

A report about the working conditions of Powrakarmikas across Karnataka has been prepared after speaking to powrakarmikas across the state. Many of them are still to be paid wages, they are working without protective equipment, food or transport. If the government does not take any steps soon, there is a great danger of workers falling prey to Corona like it happened in Mumbai. The report has been prepared by several unions/associations working with Powrakarmikas across the
Karnataka State, in regard to their working conditions.

The Press Release on the report can be read in English and Kannada.
