MP: 6-year-old forced to manually scavenge in Chhatarpur

Despite various laws banning manual scavenging, a heart-breaking incident has come to light in Madhya Pradesh's Chhatarpur.

A six-year-old school girl was forced by a young man to manually scavenge at Lav-kushnagar in the Gudaura village.

The victim was asked to do it when she was defecating in an open area due to the lack of toilets in her school.
