The union stated that although it welcomex the Assam gazette notification issued by the state government on March 8, the current members of the state level commission have no actual understanding of the plight of safai karmacharis.
“Although the institution of a state level commission has been our long standing demand, the present members have no contribution towards the up liftment of safai karmacharis of the state. Hence, we request the state government to induct activists from all districts as members of the commission. Activists who have worked closely with safai karmacharis and understand their issues, will be in a better position to solve their problems,” said Ranjan Chowdhury, president of the Harijan Mazdoor Union.
