Kanpur Residents Write Blood Letter to CM Yogi for Toilets, Sewers

• Residents of Santlal ka Hata in Kanpur, facing years of neglect for basic facilities, wrote a letter to CM Yogi Adityanath with their blood.
• Despite being in the heart of Kanpur, the settlement lacks sewer lines and has only one community toilet for 3000 people.
• Women, children, and the elderly suffer most due to the severe shortage of private and community toilets, leading to health issues.
• Years of complaints to the Municipal Corporation yielded only assurances, with no concrete action taken.
• The suspension of their local councilor for raising these issues further fueled public anger and led to the drastic blood letter protest.
