Haryana Municipalities Clear Garbage Amid Sanitation Workers' Strike and Protests
Sanitation workers in Haryana have been on strike since August 6, leading to accumulated garbage at multiple dumping sites in Yamunanagar, Jagadhri, and Sirsa. Municipal authorities, with police support, initiated large-scale clearance operations removing around 700 metric tonnes of waste in each city. These efforts faced protests from striking workers, resulting in temporary detentions and subsequent releases. Officials expect the cleanup to take up to 48 hours, aiming to alleviate public health concerns amid ongoing labor disputes.
