IN a major welfare and social security measure for core sanitation workers engaged in cleaning sewer and septic tanks, Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Saturday announced ex gratia of ₹30 lakh for loss of life at work and houses under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Urban for them.
They will be provided with a life insurance cover of ₹10 lakh while senior sanitation workers will get mobile phones. More than 10,000 sanitation workers in 115 towns of the state have been identified under the scheme and recognised as skilled and unskilled workers. They will get the benefits of the new social security measures, the chief minister said.

These ‘sins’ are usually the result of impulsive actions, poor decisions or simple social missteps.
