Punjab Sanitation Workers Announce Statewide Shutdown on July 30, Garbage Collection Likely to Be Affected
Sanitation workers in Punjab have announced a statewide shutdown on July 30 as part of their ongoing protest over pending demands. The Punjab State Safai Karamchari Union has launched a campaign across the state to ensure widespread participation in the strike.
According to the union, sanitation and waste collection services have already been disrupted in several urban local bodies. If the shutdown receives broad support, garbage collection and other sanitation-related services could be affected in many towns and cities across Punjab.
Union representatives say the protest is aimed at drawing attention to long-standing issues that they believe require immediate action. They have urged sanitation workers across the state to join the shutdown and support the movement.
Meanwhile, local authorities are monitoring the situation and may take necessary measures to minimise inconvenience to the public. Residents are advised to stay informed through official updates, as civic services may face temporary disruptions during the protest.
