JIND: Around 70
sanitation workers
of
Jind
municipal committee (MC), who had been contracted through outsourcing and had been working amid the
Covid-19 pandemic
, have been sacked after the civic body got a sweeping machine from the state government.
The workers claimed that they had even been honoured for their services amid the pandemic, but they were now being left high and dry.
Shubham Singh, a sanitation worker, said they had even sanitised quarantine centres and suspected areas.
When contacted,
Jind MC
executive officer (EO) said the state government had sent a sweeping machine, so thet did not require the workers anymore. “We had outsourced them through a contractor and now services have been terminated,” he said. Shubham Singh demanded that they be reinstated to the job.
