BHUBANESWAR: After residing via a strike of rubbish creditors for the previous four days, which saw the suspension of door-to-door number of waste, the residents of 15 wards within the town will get some relief from the filth and stink throughout. The sanitary staff of the non-public corporate in control of rubbish collection in those wards called off their strike on Thursday.
With the tip of the strike, and after repeated lawsuits from locals, three tractors on Thursday began amassing rubbish from households and in addition wiped clean the roads.
Around 500 staff of Ramky Sanitary Agency, the non-public company in control of amassing rubbish in wards 1, 2, 6, 7, eight, 13, 14, 15, 24, 25, 27, 37, 38 and 39 went on strike from Monday to call for a hike in wage. They also alleged late payment of wage by way of the corporate.
"The issue has been resolved and the workers will join work from Friday," Murali Temba, venture head of the agency.
The Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) authorities said they served a understand to the agency for causing inconvenience to public. The strike ended in heaps of waste accumulating by way of the roads and at side road corners; stray dogs and livestock made the situation worse by way of rummaging via it.
"It is no surprise that not a single city or town from the state figured on the Swachh Survekshan list. If this is the condition of Smart City Bhubaneswar, what can we expect in other, smaller places? It has become difficult to walk on the streets due to the stink and litter around," said Smrutirekha Jena, a resident of Sastri Nagar.
Mayor Anant Narayan Jena said he had requested the non-public agency to get to the bottom of the labour problem on the earliest. "The BMC has outsourced sanitation work to the private company and we can only penalize the firm for not doing its duty. We can't do its work for it," said sanitary inspector of BMC, Sunil Kumar Sahu.
