However, noticeable delays were witnessed in garbage collection, with waste remaining uncollected in many areas until the afternoon.

Residents expressed concern over the accumulating garbage, citing hygiene worries, especially as temperatures remain high. Till afternoon, the garage was lying in various parts of the city.

Notably, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s visit is also scheduled on June 11 when he will be inaugurating the Burlton Park project. So, it was also a challenge before the MC to manage the situation. So, acting promptly, the authorities ensured that the strike was called off.
