Haryana Sanitation Workers Strike Continues Amid Failed Talks and Partial Agreements
Sanitation workers in Haryana have been on strike for over two weeks, demanding job regularisation and implementation of government agreements. The strike has led to garbage accumulation in cities like Karnal and Sirsa, raising health and safety concerns amid the monsoon season. While talks with the state government have failed to resolve the dispute, some local committees and political leaders have facilitated partial agreements to allow limited garbage collection. Workers continue to press for full regularisation and improved working conditions.
