thanks for this very exhaustive list. this is the first time ive heard of sewer divers - with no PPE - sounds terrible.

Sudharak Olwe has spent a lot of time documenting the lives of "conservancy workers" in Mumbai. His entire body of work is worth a look, Content warning: Image 12 is extremely NSFL with the body of a human child, but there are also dead and dying animals in images 4 and 11 but here is one collection. The photo I see most frequently is the one of a worker neck-deep in a drain

Terrible is certainly a good word to describe it.

Klick on those links with caution, especially the collection is most definitely NSFL.

Oh goodness, I'm really sorry! I entirely forgot some of those pics were at that level. I'll add a content warning to my post.
