I’m not running away from UP, not scared… will go back: Kafeel Khan

Over a decade ago, when Dr Kafeel Khan (28) was studying paediatrics at Manipal’s Kasturba Medical College, a professor told him that he will “learn development milestones in toddlers, such as their first walk and word, when he too becomes a father”.
Apart from this, there are 11 toilets at the Guru Teg Bahadur Memorial nearby, frequented by protesters who are staying inside the premises as well as those who take shelter in their trolleys and tractors. Amit (40), the sanitation supervisor there, said he has a team of eight men who clean the 11 toilets at the Memorial, which is spread across an 11-acre area. He said, “Each year, at least one big gathering takes place here, which we are now used to managing, but this is the first time that the numbers are this high and for so many days.”
Among those tasked with cleaning the toilets at the Memorial are 24-year-old Pramod, who hails from UP’s Muzaffarnagar, and Pradeep (28). “Our salary is Rs 13,500 a month for working six days a week, from 8 am to 5 pm. Thankfully, there are so many portable toilets in the area now so the pressure is distributed. The protesters are unlike any other we have seen many ask if they can help,” said Pradeep.
