Talk to striking safai workers, Punjab CM urged

Chandigarh: SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal on Friday asked Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh to talk to “safai” workers directly to end their ongoing strike, else the state could face several other diseases at a time when it was battling Covid-19. He said despite protests at several places across the state for a fortnight, the government was adopting a callous attitude towards their grievances. Lauding their role during the pandemic, he said: “The government should not adopt such an insensitive attitude towards these frontline workers.” TNS
