Bengaluru: Residents in several regions have to install an irresistible odor on Monday with a waste picker refusing to lift garbage protest against the failure of Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Mangangara to regulate their services and increase their payments with employees of the Civic Agency.
Waste pickers, who are reported to have worked wearing their uniforms, do not do garbage from the door to the door.
It left citizens and senior BBMP officials confused because the protest took place on the first day of the week when the resulting garbage was usually high (it included waste from Sunday too).
“We are ready with a trash can, but the vehicle doesn’t come to take it.
When we go to the nearest point of collection and ask with waste pickers, they say they have hit work because they have not been paid for the past seven months.
Even the roads are not cleaned,” said Renukamma Octogenarian, a resident of Srinagar.
Homemaker Chandrika from Azadnagar near Chamarajpet asked: “They said they would collect garbage after the attack ended.
What do we do with him until then?” The BBMP control room was bombarded with more than 400 calls from citizens over garbage that was not picked up in each area each.
Waste pickup accused the brass of the biological and state government had turned the ears for their complaints.
“We have worked for years and are already under their direct payment system.
Why can’t we become BBMP employees? We are under our contractors and payments damaged by uncertainty every month,” said Nagarathamma K, a PourakaMika.
Pavithra Rajasshekar, another Pourakumica of Kempegowdanagar, said: “We are currently under contract and BBMP needs to make us permanent employees and increase our wages.
We also need a health card.” Manjunath C, a sanitation worker, accusing: “The contractor does not pay On time.
Often, we have to wait for more than three months.
“Sarfaraz Khan, a joint commissioner, solid waste management, said the government must make decisions about regulating their services as permanent employees.
He added: “They demand a health card, which is similar to what BBMP employees have.
But it cannot be given to them.
However, they will always be given the best medical services.”
