Abstract
India is home to over 5 million cleaners who clean up garbage, sewers and public toilets. Cleaners
are the backbone of the waste control gadget, yet most of them work in inhumane conditions –
without safety equipment and social security. From managing life-threatening tasks such as cleaning
the streets, dumping garbage, and emptying septic tanks, cleaners carry out their responsibilities
without adequate safety equipment, including sanitizers and masks. The lack of personal protective
equipment and other safety measures at work puts sanitation workers at a high risk of infection. This
paper is an attempt to study the impact of COVID-19 on sanitary workers during the pandemic
period in greater Chennai city corporation.
