Haryana Municipalities Intensify Garbage Removal Amid Ongoing Sanitation Workers' Strike
Sanitation workers in Haryana have been on strike for over two weeks, demanding regularisation and other benefits. The government has accepted 13 of their 14 demands, with legal advice sought on the pending regularisation issue. Meanwhile, municipal corporations in cities like Karnal, Fatehabad, Hisar, and Bhiwani have intensified garbage removal efforts using JCBs, loaders, and police support. Protests and detentions occurred during clean-up drives, but administrations continue operations to manage waste and reduce health risks amid the ongoing strike.
