NEW DELHI: The National Commission for Scheduled Castes (NCSC) asked Delhi Police on Saturday to register an FIR against Aam Aadmi Party’s Uttam Nagar MLA Naresh Balyan for manual scavenging in his constituency allegedly on his directions.
NCSC chairman Vijay Sampla said in a statement that Balyan shared four photographs showing the cleaning of drains and sewers as part of monsoon preparedness. “In the attached pictures, it is clear that drain cleaning was done through manual scavenging. As per government rules, the sewers and drains should be cleaned with electro-hydraulic machines,” the statement read.
