In Brief

• 3,000 Crore Scam in Garbage Collection

• Accusation by Garbage Collectors

• Political Patronage Behind Awarding Contract to a Single Company, Alleges Labor Leader Baba Kadam

(Mumbai) The sanitation workers in Mumbai are considered cleanliness ambassadors. The responsibility of keeping the entire Mumbai clean lies with these employees. 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 they work on are in a state of disrepair.

So, if there is an accident involving these vehicles or an incident occurs while employees are working, who will be responsible? Therefore, it is also important to know when these sanitation workers will get justice. Employees are seen demanding that the Mumbai Municipal Corporation pay attention to our safety.

The lives of garbage collectors in the Mumbai Municipal Corporation are at risk, and although the contract for dangerous garbage collection vehicles has been terminated, it is reported that the contract has been given to only one person for 15 years. Garbage collectors are alleging a scam of 3,000 crores in garbage collection.

Labor leader Baba Kadam has alleged that political figures have a hand in repeatedly awarding the contract to the same company. Against this backdrop, the question now arises as to who these favored leaders are. It will also be important to see whether these sanitation workers will get justice.
