Deterioration of waste pickers' vehicles
Who is responsible if vehicles meet with accidents?
(Mumbai) The sanitation workers in Mumbai are considered cleanliness ambassadors. The responsibility of keeping the entire Mumbai clean lies with these workers. Every morning, we see these workers collecting garbage from large trailers.
However, the employees who clean Mumbai daily are currently facing difficulties. The large vehicles on which these employees work are in a state of disrepair. So, if an accident occurs with these vehicles or an incident happens with the employees while working, who will be responsible? This question is now being raised by these employees.
The employees are also seen demanding that the Mumbai Municipal Corporation pay attention to our safety.
