CHANDIGARH: Door-to-door garbage collectors went on strike on Monday, leading to waste piling up near the gates of houses of people in different sectors. In some areas, vehicles even came to collect garbage according to their schedule, but were stopped by the association of door-to-door garbage collectors.
The collectors alleged the municipal corporation had not fulfilled the conditions of memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed between it and their association. However, late in the evening, the association leaders held a meeting with the municipal commissioner Anindita Mitra and MC officers and both parties arrived at a consensus.
“We have agreed to fulfil the genuine demands of the door-to-door garbage collectors and they will be implemented soon,” said Anindita Mitra.
