Haryana Sanitation Workers Strike Continues Amid Political Disputes and Clashes
Sanitation workers in Haryana have been on strike since August 6, demanding regularisation and better benefits. The government states 12 of 13 demands have been accepted and is seeking legal advice on regularisation, while workers and unions insist on written commitments. The strike has caused garbage accumulation and clashes with police, notably in Hisar. Political tensions surfaced in the Haryana Assembly, with Congress opposing government statements and the BJP accusing Congress of politicising the issue. Efforts to resolve the deadlock continue amid ongoing protests.
