No garbage collection as workers call weeklong strike

Garbage collection from households, streets and collection points, and its transportation to dumping yard, has come to a halt. Vidarbha Mazdoor Sangh has called a strike, and claimed the response is 100 per cent. However, private operator Kanak Resources Management Limited (KRML), which manages garbage collection and transportation, says half the workers are on strike. Shockingly, Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) is sitting pretty, claiming it has not got any intimation of the strike from either the private operator nor sanitary inspectors.
