The protest by sanitation workers of the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) has reached its eleventh day, with workers extending their agitation until May 14 and warning of an indefinite strike if their demands are not addressed by the Haryana government. In a show of escalating frustration, workers dumped large piles of garbage outside the old MCG office and the Civil Hospital, exacerbating already poor sanitation conditions in the city. Basant Kumar, president of the Haryana Sarv Karmchari Sangh, emphasized that the protest aims to secure fair wages and end years of exploitation faced by sanitation workers. The workers are also advocating for the reinstatement of nearly 3,500 laid-off employees and the withdrawal of charges against those involved in previous strikes. Residents have expressed concern over the deteriorating sanitation conditions, with roads filled with garbage and foul odors affecting daily life. Local councillors are calling for dialogue between civic authorities and the workers’ union to resolve the ongoing strike, while MCG officials claim that sanitation services are being maintained through outsourced workers.
