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.”
