the occasion. I always like the way Hemant
sings songs with guitar. It is really very
surprising that an Assistant Commissioner of

Amitabh Bachchan fulfills promise and
buys machines for manual scavengers
                              Superstar Amitabh Bachchan has
                         fulfilled a promise made during his
                         Swachh Bharat’ campaign to help
                         manual scavengers by personally
                         arranging machines for them.
                              “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,” he said
                         on his social media platform,.
                              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. “My contribution
                         was to prevent the de-humanising work
                         of these scavengers and to give them
                         the respect and dignity in society”
                         Amitabh Bachchan said.
                              His tweet: https://

                              He has urged the BMC and MSA to
                         give a report consistently on the right
                         and correct usage of the equipment.
                              In a nutshell, Mr Bachchan has
                         contributed Rs 59 Lakhs overall towards
                         this noble cause. Out of this, Rs 25
                         Lakhs has gone toward cost of the truck
                         and ONE large automated scavenging
                         machine donated to MCGM. He has
                         also given two small manual machines
                         to scavenging soldiers from Aurangabad
                         respectively. The balance amount will
                         be spent on 26 smaller machines,
                         he will give these away once he is in
                         possession of it at a later date.
