AG Enviro has been assigned the task of collecting garbage in Zone Nos. 1 to 5. Its workers claimed that the company exploits the drivers and waste collectors. They are sacked from service on the basis of fake complaints, attendance is not marked and they are threatened frequently over an issue or another. “If the problem is not solved, there will be no garbage collection in the coming days too,” said Vidarbha Majdoor Sangh which claimed that they had warned of strike in their memorandum submitted to the NMC Administrator. As no solution was found, the workers resorted to strike.
