Chandigarh, May 16

Waste collectors have not been lifting garbage from houses in Sector 21 for the past three-four days over a payment issue.

A resident of the sector, JC Verma, said: “The waste has not been lifted for four days. We faced this problem earlier as well. Cleanliness should be a priority during these Covid times.”

Chairman of FOSWAC Baljinder Singh Bittu said: “If the MC is not able to get the waste collected through its two-bin vehicles, then it should let RWAs run the waste collection system.”

Chairman of waste collectors union OP Saini claimed the collectors did not get their payment from the MC as was promised in the MoU. Thus, they are not working. He said they would meet the officials concerned on Monday to work out the issue.

Additional Commissioner Sorabh Arora said there was some issue with the collectors in Sector 21 and it would be resolved soon.
