Indore (Madhya Pradesh): In a shocking incident, a team of Indore Municipal workers has been caught on video trying to 'dump' elderly homeless people by the side of a highway on the city's outskirts. A disturbing video of the incident, shot by locals has widely shared online, shows the municipal team trying to unload homeless people off a truck parked on the side of the highway.

  • इंदौर, मप्र की ये घटना मानवता पर एक कलंक है। सरकार और प्रशासन को इन बेसहारा लोगों से माफी माँगनी चाहिए और ऑर्डर लागू कर रहे छोटे कर्मचारियों पर नहीं बल्कि ऑर्डर देनेवाले उच्चस्थ अधिकारियों पर ऐक्शन होना चाहिए। pic.twitter.com/r47k6Cc6Ox

However, they were forced to bring them back after villagers in the Kshipra area notice them and refuse to let the elderly people be abandoned in the bitter cold.

  • मध्यप्रदेश के इंदौर में नगर निगम कर्मचारियों द्वारा बुजुर्गों के साथ किये गये अमानवीय व्यवहार ने प्रदेश को देश भर में शर्मशार किया है।
    इसके दोषियों पर सिर्फ़ निलंबन की कार्यवाही अपर्याप्त है।

Abhay Rajangaonkar, the Indore Municipal Corporation's Additional Commissioner told a news agency, "We have established Rain Baseras (shelters) for the homeless and will probe into why these elderly people were not sent there. We have also sacked two contractual employees in this connection."
