Sanitation workers give JMC seven days, warn of protest

Jaipur: Representatives of the Sayukt Valmiki Evam Safayi Shramik Sangh, who were pressing the Jaipur Municipal Corporation (JMC) over sanitation worker recruitment and pending demands for several months, held a meeting with JMC officials Friday.The meeting focused on the proposed sanitation workers' recruitment planned for 2026, along with long-pending issues raised by the unions. It was decided that a detailed report incorporating the unions' suggestions and unresolved matters would be prepared within 7 days and forwarded to the state govt.
Union representatives said that in 2012, screening committees completed the selection process for sanitation workers in Jaipur, Bikaner, Dausa and other urban bodies. However, appointments were never issued in Jaipur, while candidates in Kota and Rajakhera were given postings. The unions demanded that this disparity be addressed and pending court cases resolved at the earliest.The unions also warned that if the report is not prepared and further action is not initiated within 7 days, sanitation workers would be forced to resume protests.
