Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): A sudden strike by over 300 daily wage municipal employees on Saturday morning disrupted Bhopal’s door-to-door waste collection for nearly four hours.

Most striking workers were drivers involved in garbage collection, protesting after receiving only half of their October salary.

The strike began soon after the first collection round, with drivers parking vehicles at plants across the city’s 21 municipal zones, bringing waste collection to a halt. Workers alleged their pay had been unfairly cut to 15 days.

The protest ended by noon after employee leaders met Municipal Commissioner Sanskriti Jain at corporation headquarters in Mata Mandir. Officials said the confusion arose from miscommunication by AHOs (Assistant Health Officers) and supervisors. Read Also MP
