Haryana Sanitation Workers Strike Leads to Assembly Debate and Clashes in Hisar
Sanitation workers in Haryana have been on strike since August 6, demanding benefits including LTC, minimum wages, and regularisation. The strike has led to garbage accumulation and clashes with police during garbage-lifting efforts, notably in Hisar where protesters confronted authorities. The state government, represented by Urban Local Bodies Minister Vipul Goel, stated that 12 of 13 demands were accepted and legal advice on regularisation is underway. Congress opposed the handling of the issue in the assembly, while Social Justice Minister Krishan Bedi accused Congress of defaming the Valmiki community.
