Safety Managed Sanitation
The name ‘JALODBUST’
As per folklore, in Kashmir Lake, Jalodbhav a water Demon grew to become killer of common people. He had acquired 3 boons: Immortality in water, immense strength and magical powers. After great struggle, Jalodbhav was killed and humanity saved. This story bears resemblance to the problem of dirt and deaths of Manual Scavengers, hence the need for JALODBUST.
STORY of JALODBHAVA
Jalodbhava – as the Nilmata mentions – is a water demon with awesome defiance and amphibian rebellion. In the Kashmir lake, he grew from an orphan into a dangerous killer of Humanity.
