On Monday, cleaning workers at Indore Municipal Corporation halted work, staged a protest and signaled a strike over regularisation and other grievances.
Indore, Madhya Pradesh – On Monday, a group of cleaning staff employed by the Indore Municipal Corporation gathered inside the corporation's premises and stopped all routine duties. The workers assembled, raised slogans and displayed placards demanding the regularisation of their positions along with several other pending issues.
The employees presented a memorandum to the municipal commissioner, urging him to meet their representatives. When the commissioner did not appear to receive the document, the protestors intensified their chants, signalling that a full‑scale strike could follow if their demands remain unmet.
The disruption briefly affected waste‑collection services in parts of the city, prompting local residents to voice concerns over sanitation. Municipal officials have indicated that discussions are underway, but no concrete resolution has been announced as of the time of reporting.
