Cleaning staff in Ludhiana surrounded the mayor’s house in a protest, demanding better working conditions.
In a dramatic display of dissent, municipal cleaning staff gathered outside the mayor’s residence in Ludhiana and formed a blockade around the house. The protest, which began in the early hours, aimed to draw attention to grievances over wages, safety gear and overall working conditions.
The encirclement halted traffic on the main road leading to the mayor’s house, prompting local traffic police to redirect commuters. While the cleaning crew maintained a peaceful stance, they refused to disperse until their demands were acknowledged.
City officials have yet to issue a formal response, and the protest remains active. The incident underscores growing tensions between municipal employees and the administration over employment terms and benefits.
