Mali said, “We are accepting all decisions of the government. But the government and MC are not accepting any demand of the sanitation workers. So, all office-bearers of the union have unanimously decided that they will mark their attendance through the biometric system till January 4 due to the cleanliness survey. After that, we will not work at night and not mark the attendance on the machine.”

The union president also announced that they would stage a protest against the government in favour their long-pending demands. He said, “If the government fulfills our demands then we will work as per its wish.”

To make sure 100 per cent attendance of the sanitation workers ahead of Swachhta Survey 2018, which is starting on Janaury 4, 2018, the MC has got biometric machines installed. There are 20 points in the survey for biometric attendance. The MC has purchased 30 biometric machines. — TNS
