Madhya Pradesh Municipal Employees End Strike After Government Assurances
A statewide strike by over 100,000 municipal employees in Madhya Pradesh, including sanitation, water supply, fire, and electricity workers, disrupted services and caused garbage to accumulate in cities like Bhopal, Jabalpur, and Gwalior. Workers demanded higher wages, job regularisation, and an end to contract employment. After three days, Bhopal sanitation workers ended their strike following assurances from Minister Krishna Gaur and planned talks with Chief Minister Mohan Yadav to address their demands.
