Title: Slow on sanitation(Policymakers have failed to use technological advances made intreating faecal sludge)
Context: The tragic death of six people who entered a septictank in Tamil Nadu’s Sriperumbudur town is a grim reminderthat sanitation remains a low-priority area despite the highpolitical profile of Swachh Bharat.
THE HINDU EDITORIAL ANALYSIS
Editorial by Vishal Sir
Public understanding of the science of managing septic tankscontinues to be poor, and the availability of cheap labour toclean these structures has slowed efforts to developtechnologies that can safely remove and transport the waste.
Sanitation thus remains a challenge in thousands ofunsewered towns. What sets the incident apart from theseveral instances of people dying of asphyxiation in the tanksis that some of the victims were the owners of the propertyand not workers.
since the Safai Karmachari Andolan, which has litigated in theSupreme Court seeking to aggressively prosecute offenders,contends that septic tank cleaning claimed nearly 1,500 livesbetween 2014 and 2016.
THE HINDU EDITORIAL ANALYSIS
Editorial by Vishal Sir
Every death of a manual worker represents a crime, sincethe Prohibition of Employment as Manual Scavengers andtheir Rehabilitation Act, 2013 makes the use of such labourto clean septic tanks an offence punishable withimprisonment of two years or with a fine of ₹2 lakh or botheven in the first instance.
If State governments are reluctant to prosecute offenders,they are also slow to adopt newer technologies such asFaecal Sludge Treatment Plants (FSTP), which can becombined with omniprocessors for safe treatment of waste.
What happened in Sriperumbudur highlights the heavy pricethat communities pay for the lack of scientific sanitation.
THE HINDU EDITORIAL ANALYSIS
Editorial by Vishal Sir
Final WordsIf governments remain apathetic, citizens would expect thecourts to step in to uphold the law against manual scavengingand make individual departments accountable. The science onsanitation has advanced, and policy must urgently catch up.

Title: Saving Jet(With the airline landing in the laps of banks, the challenge nowis to quickly find a buyer)
Context: The decision of Naresh Goyal and Anita Goyal, hiswife, to step down from the board of Jet Airways and cedecontrol to its lenders has come not a moment too soon.
THE HINDU EDITORIAL ANALYSIS
Editorial by Vishal Sir
By hanging on to the troubled airline and refusing to let go,Mr. Goyal brought Jet to the brink, imperilling 16,000 directjobs and ₹6,000 crore of outstanding debt to banks.
In the meanwhile, the airline continued to nosedive withaircraft being repossessed by lessors, pilots threatening tostrike work and schedules going for a toss. It is just as wellthat Mr. Goyal finally saw reason and resigned from the JetAirways board.
This signals the start of a rescue act to save the airline, butwhether it succeeds will depend on a host of factors,including the ability of banks to quickly find a buyer to pilotit.
THE HINDU EDITORIAL ANALYSIS
Editorial by Vishal Sir
Meanwhile, the active role played by banks in devising therescue plan and also committing fresh funds of ₹1,500 crorehas already come under question. The Insolvency andBankruptcy Code was enacted precisely to handle situationssuch as what Jet found itself in.
In the normal course, the airline would have been draggedto bankruptcy court for a resolution as many other truantborrowers have been in the last two years. But, just aheadof elections, the government obviously did not want a high-profile bankruptcy with thousands of jobs lost andinconvenience to the public through disrupted flightschedules and higher airfares.
THE HINDU EDITORIAL ANALYSIS
Editorial by Vishal Sir
Already, fugitive economic offender Vijay Mallya, whoseKingfisher Airlines collapsed, is asking why he was notoffered a bailout as Jet has been. That said, the priority ofbanks now is to exit from Jet as soon as they can with theirmoney intact.
Final Words The banks also have to guard against Mr. Goyal trying to
stage a comeback in some manner in the event that thelenders fail to find a buyer. Such an eventuality would be aviolation of the spirit of the IBC and also encouragerecalcitrant borrowers.
