PRAYAGRAJ, July 7 -- Cleaning work in the city remained grossly affected on the second day of the ongoing strike of sanitation workforce of Prayagraj Municipal Corporation (PMC) in the city on Sunday. On the second day, heaps of garbage were seen dumped in waterlogged areas in most parts of the city, with stray animals, including cows, dogs and pigs making the situation all the more worse by spreading the garbage all over the area. The Municipal Corporation administration deployed outsourced workers for cleaning work besides the door-to-door garbage collection agency was also deployed to collect garbage. However, these efforts failed to cater much to the garbage disposal scene of the city. The sanitation workers had gone on strike on Saturday onwards against non-fulfilment of their 11-point demands. On Sunday, a meeting of the Municipal Corporation Safai Mazdoor Union was held in PMC premises wherein the sanitation staff decided to continue their strike until their demands were met. In the meeting the protesting workers unanimously decided that no pressure from the PMC administration would be acceptable to end the strike until the demands were fulfilled in writing. The Municipal Corporation administration held talks with the office bearers of PMC Safai Mazdoor Union to end the strike. Additional Municipal Commissioner Dipendra Yadav informed the protesting workers about the talks held in the meeting with office bearers of the Union but the sanitation workers remained adamant on their decision to continue the strike till the meeting of their demands. Prayagraj Municipal Corporation Safai Mazdoor Union president Pradeep said that no one was ready to return to work until the demands were met. Some of the demands of sanitation workers include giving a minimum Rs 16,000 salary to outsourced workers besides paying Rs 10,000 bonus to outsourced workers as given to sanitation staff deployed in Mahakumbh Mela. The sanitation staff are also demanding residential facilities for sweepers in Cholera Hospital campus besides regularisation of services of nearly 2,500 outsourced workers....
