Valmiki community warns to strike work from Aug 15

1 2 Jaipur: Members of the Valmiki community staged a protest at Shaheed Smarak in Jaipur, Tuesday, demanding immediate resumption of the stalled recruitment process for 30,000 sanitation workers. Angered by the Rajasthan govt's decision to halt the drive, the protesters warned of a state-wide "Stop Work – No Broom" strike starting Aug 15, threatening to disrupt municipal services and private sanitation work across the state. The protesters submitted an 11-point charter of demands, urging the government to prioritise the Valmiki community—traditionally employed in sanitation—through formal recruitment rules and notifications. Citing a Supreme Court judgment dated Aug 1, 2024, the protesters also demanded internal reservation within the Scheduled Castes category, seeking a 50% share for Valmikis. Other key demands include resolution of court cases linked to the 2012 and 2018 recruitment batches, implementation of Rs 695 as the minimum daily wage, abolition of contract systems in departments such as schools and hospitals, and filling of permanent vacant posts. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Scam Exposed: What They Won't Tell You about zero trust!
