Pratap Sarnaik: Mumbai Garbage Vehicle: Minister Pratap Sarnaik takes note of Lokshahi Marathi's news against garbage collection vehicles
Scroll down to read the news in brief...
(Pratap Sarnaik) 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 employees 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? Therefore, it is also important to know when these sanitation workers will get justice. The employees are also 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.
Against this backdrop, Minister Pratap Sarnayak has taken note of the Lokshahi Marathi news regarding the garbage collection vehicles. The malfunctioning vehicles used for garbage collection are causing trouble for the sanitation workers. Some workers have even been injured. However, the contractor is responsible for this, and no action is being taken against them.
In this context, the transport department has taken note of the Lokshahi news, and Transport Minister Pratap Sarnayak has instructed action to be taken against these vehicles. He also mentioned that if the vehicle's lifespan is over, those vehicles will be scrapped.
