[Assam] [asom] Select 'persons of the year'

Think AASU deserves a mention in the list. They have always successfully or
unsuccessfully highlighted the problems of Assam which many here in the
forums often speak about but cannot do much in terms of actions.
Some areas they have raised their voices for the people of Assam are:
- Flood control
- Education
- Bangladeshi migrants
- Tried to bring about unity among the different ethnic groups of Assam,
although I would say that they haven't succeeded here.
- Jobs for locals
Was a bit surprised to see Tarun Gogoi's name. We heard lots ( Guwahati
being the next Shanghai etc etc) but not much to show. Yes, the successful
holding of National Games, trying to get foreign investments to the State
etc does him some points. Where he failed miserably is - flood control( in
Guwahati as well as in the State ), illegal migration ( remember he accepted
those whom the neighbouring states dumped to us and probably continue to do
so ), controlling militancy and crimes( the number of groups just keep
growing and a settlement hasn't been reached with any), border issues ( has
always been a mute spectator to occupation of Assam's land by neighbouring
states )

> THE BELLY OF THE BEAST
> What does this beast that gobbles human lives
> look like? Who feeds it? In Delhi, it is a
> humongous many-mouthed subterranean creature - a
> network of 5,600 km of sewers with about 1.5 lakh
> manholes, managed by the DJB - which consumes
> 2,781 million litres of thesewage Delhi generates
> daily. The journey begins from kitchens,
> bathrooms and toilets through four-inch house
> drains that empty into the main sewer. The 9-inch
> trunk sewers carry the slush to bigger lines of
> 2m to 3m diameter. This network of pipes is laid
> below ground level with "sufficient gradient" to
> ensure a "selfcleansing" velocity of about 1
> metre per second.Reared on a mixed diet of
> domestic, commercial and industrial wastewater,
> with stormwater drains sometimes hitching a ride
> and burdening its mangled intestines, the beast
> develops serious indigestion every day. It is
> indiscriminately fed a wide range of objects that
> causes clogs - condoms, sanitary pads,
> nondegradable thermocol, a variety of plastics,
> industrial sludge, kitchen waste, toilet cleaning
> acids, medical waste (syringes, blades, even
> placenta), glass shards, household gadgets,
> construction debris. It is then that the 5,500
> beldars- as sewer workers are designated by the
> DJB- enter its bowels. (In Chennai, the sewerage
> network spreads across 2,800 km with 80,000
> manholes- a manhole every 35 metres.) The
> indigestion produces a variety of gases. When
> sewage decomposes and ferments in a stagnant
> state, hydrogen sulphide is formed .
>
> Known as sewer gas, it has a distinctive smell of
> rotten eggs. Overexposure to this gas can cause
> olfactory fatigue - an inability to detect its
> odour - which most manhole workers suffer from.
> Hydrogen sulphide, which is explosive, acts as an
> irritant and asphyxiant, affecting oxygen supply
> to the brain and stem cells. More than 100 parts
> per million (ppm) of this gas in a manhole can
> result in instantaneous suppression of
> respiration. Less than 10 ppm, which is routine,
> can result in conjunctivitis and headaches.
>
> METHANE IS the other lurking danger. Not only
> does it displace oxygen, it is also explosive.
> Provided with no gasdetecting devices, most
> manhole workers have ingenuous methods of
> checking the concentration of these toxic gases.
> After opening the manhole cover, they let it vent
> a while, then light a match and throw it in. If
> there's methane, it burns out. Once the fire
> abates, the worker prepares to enter. Sateesh, a
> DJB worker from Nandnagari, reveals another
> strategy: "After opening the cover, we check if
> the cockroaches are alive. If they are dead, we
> leave the sewer open for some time and then
> enter." Roaches are not known to die easily.

> Entering the narrow, dark drain, the worker
> pushes his only weapon, the khapchi - a spliced
> bamboo stick - to dislodge the block. This
> exercise could take hours. "Holding our breath,
> closing our eyes, we plunge headlong. We feel our

> besides methane, hydrogen sulphide, carbon
> dioxide and carbon monoxide - assaults the
> person. "Even if we manage not to swallow the
> toxic muck, it manages to enter our bodies."
> Odourless and colourless, the carbon gases can
> cause suffocation. If the worker survives the
> initial ordeal, he crouches inside and loads the
> sludge into leaky metal buckets or wicker baskets
> for his team to haul out. Depending on the clog,
> the entire operation could take up to 48 hours.

>
> According to Ashish Mittal, an occupational
> health physician who co-authored Hole to Hell, a
> 2005 study of sewer workers by the Centre for
> Education and Communication (CEC), New Delhi, a
> manhole is "a confined, oxygen-deficient space
> where the presence of noxious gases can cause
> syncope - a sudden and transient loss of
> consciousness owing to brief cessation of
> cerebral blood flow. The brain cannot tolerate
> even a brief deprivation of oxygen. The long-term
> neurological effects of syncope can be
> debilitating." In most developed nations, manhole
> workers are protected in bunny suits to avoid
> contact with contaminated water and sport a
> respiratory apparatus; the sewers are well-lit,
> mechanically aerated with huge fans and therefore
> are not so oxygen deficient. In Hong Kong, a
> sewer worker, after adequate training, needs at
> least 15 licences and permits to enter a manhole.
>
> In India, the manhole worker wears nothing more
> than a loincloth or half-pants. In Delhi, since
> the directives of the National Human Rights
> Commission in October 2002, the majority of the
> DJB's permanent workers wear a "safety belt".
> It's a joke. This belt, connecting the worker
> through thick ropes to men standing outside,
> offers no protection from the gases and the sharp
> objects that assault the worker. At best, it
> helps haul them out when they faint or die. The
> CEC's 2005 survey of 200 DJB manhole workers
> found that 92.5 percent of the workers wore the
> safety belt. This did not prevent 91.5 percent of
> them from suffering injuries and 80 percent
> suffering eye infections. The survey found that
> diseases like leptospirosis, viral hepatitis and
> typhoid were common. "During the course of our
> six-month study, three of the 200 workers died,"
> recalls Mittal.

> KM Chabukswa, 50, a manhole worker with the BMC

> provision for water to clean ourselves. We end up
> walking a kilometre looking for water. We are
> prone to every possible disease; workers take to
> drinking or doing drugs to get over the atrocity
> of the job." Another BMC worker, Gautam Jadhav,
> 33, says: "I suffer from sinus; my eyes swell up.
> I recently had typhoid. No one likes standing
> next to us because of the stink."
>
> NOT SURPRISINGLY, most of the workers die before
> retirement. Owing to loss of appetite and
> inevitable alcoholism, many men shrink to half
> their size if they work 20 years. The average
> lifespan of a manhole worker is about 45. And if
> a worker does not die inside a manhole, the civic
> body does not offer any monetary compensation for
> illnesses/deaths owing to occupational hazards.
> In Delhi, permanent workers get a monthly "risk
> allowance" of Rs 50. In some states this rises to
> Rs 200. The entry-level salary of a sanitation
> worker in New York is $30,000 per year. In the
> sixth year, he could earn $67,141 (Rs 2.18 lakh
