Congress member Aditya Surjewala strongly raised the pathetic condition of sanitation workers from Kaithal and Haryana in the Assembly. He said that the sanitation workers of the Kaithal Municipal Council were on strike for the last two months for their demands, but the state government did not take notice of it. MLA Surjewala said in the House that the state government has not recruited a single permanent sanitation worker in Kaithal in the last 11 years. An election promise was made to end the contractual system, but this promise turned out to be completely false. Remove Ad Only Read News Contractors get tenders worth crores of rupees but it becomes difficult for the sanitation workers to manage even their household. No value is given for their hard work. Demanding immediate action from the government, Aditya Surjewala said that the contract system should be ended with immediate effect. Also, 160 sanitation workers who were removed earlier must be rehired and given permanent jobs. The salaries of employees must be increased and pay differences must be removed. Let us tell you that the sanitation workers in Kaithal have been agitating against the contractual system for a long time and demanding permanent recruitment. Recently, there was a protest outside the Municipal Council, in which MLA Aditya Surjewala himself participated. He said this is a policy of exploitation of employees, which should be changed soon.
