Jaipur: Sanitation workers, sweepers, and Class IV employees from both Jaipur Municipal Corporation (JMC) Greater and Heritage staged a protest Thursday outside the JMC-G headquarters, demanding action on long-pending issues.
The demonstration organised under the Sarva Samaj Swachhta Sainik Sangathan, highlighted grievances the protesters say have been ignored by both state and civic authorities.
Their key demands included immediate implementation of revised pay scales as per the Finance Department's circular dated Dec 11, 2024, release of relieving orders for transferred staff, transparent promotion processes, and special grievance redressal camps in all municipal zones. Protesters also called for early elections for the Valmiki and Safai Shramik Union.
Union leader and presidential candidate Pawan Chaudhary said the commissioner had sought 10 days to act, warning that if demands were not met, no sanitation worker—Valmiki or non-Valmiki—would report to duty. TNN
