Haryana Sanitation Workers Extend Strike Amid Dispute Over Regularisation
Sanitation workers in Haryana have been on strike for over a month, demanding regularisation of contractual employees and an end to the contract system. Protests, including head-shaving demonstrations, have taken place across multiple cities. The government has warned workers to resume duties or face legal action and is preparing to dismiss some involved in disruptions. While the government claims to have met most demands except regularisation, workers reject job security assurances, insisting on full regularisation. Plans for extended strikes and public meetings aim to intensify the agitation.
