Analysed 3 Sept 2026·12 sources analysed·Hisar (city), India·Politics
Haryana Sanitation Workers Extend Strike Amid Clashes and Government DirectivesPreviousNext

Sanitation workers in Haryana have extended their strike to September 6, protesting unmet demands and recent terminations. The strike, ongoing for nearly a month, has led to mounting garbage accumulation and clashes with police in multiple districts, including Hisar and Bahadurgarh. Authorities have invoked the Essential Services Maintenance Act, directed workers to resume duties by September 5, and registered FIRs against some protesters. Union leaders plan further protests, including gherao of the Urban Local Body Minister's office, amid ongoing tensions and efforts to clear waste.
