Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan has fulfilled a promise he made to help manual scavengers by arranging machines. "At the NDTV Cleanathon 'Banega Swachh India', seeing the inhuman plight of the manual scavenger, I had committed to buy 50 machines for them. Today I fulfilled that promise! 25 small individual machines and one large truck machine gifted to BMC," Amitabh tweeted early on Sunday.
