(File Photo)The Municipal Corporation’s initiative of introducing door-to-door collection of segregated wet and dry waste in Mohali — to be flagged by MLA Kulwant Singh on Wednesday — was cancelled due to a protest by sanitation workers.
The ongoing strike by the Punjab Safai Mazdoor Federation entered the second day on Wednesday.
The Mohali Municipal Corporation had planned to inaugurate the scheme with vehicles arriving at 9 AM.
However, several sanitation workers and garbage collectors surrounded and blocked the vehicles stationed at the Shahi Majra point.
Following this, police administration intervened and facilitated a joint meeting of union leaders with the MLA and the Municipal Commissioner.
