Zirakpur, January 1

Members of the Safai Karamchari Union protested against the Zirakpur Municipal Council here today.

The Safai Karamcharis assembled on the premises of the Municipal Council building and stalled the garbage vehicles and raised slogans in support of their demands.

The protest was held under the leadership of Mohali Safai Mazdoor Federation president, who alleged that despite repeated reminders to the Administration, their demands remain unfulfilled.

Safai karamcharis said the dumping ground at Bishanpura village has reached its full capacity and even the residents of the village have refused to let the garbage-loaded rehries enter their houses, as these mounds of garbage have come up all across the village. They lamented that they have asked the Municipal Council to earmark another site for disposal, but all pleas have fallen on deaf ears.

Manveer Singh, Executive officer, Zirakur, said that they would look into the maatter and see what can be done at the earliest.
