Swachha Survekshan: Deploy Workers Back To Original Wards: Sanitation Staff | Jaipur News
Jaipur: As the city prepares for Swachha Survekshan, sanitation workers in the city have requested JMC-Greater administration to deploy workers back to different wards.
Sanitation workers from different wards were assigned other duties over the past few years and have not been posted back to their original wards, affecting cleanliness work. Several wards in zones like Jhotwara have eight to 10 workers whereas around 20 workers per ward are sanctioned.
Rakesh Meena, sanitation worker leader in the city said that in most of the wards, number of staff is less according to the needs of the population living there.
“With work on cleanliness survey going on in full swing, a letter was written by JMC-Greater commissioner to the district administration to relieve the employees who were sent for various duties. Around 200-400 workers are engaged in the district collectorate office and they should be relieved and sent back for work of the municipal corporation. Most of the areas are short-staffed, the number of staff in Jhotwara is the least. If someday a sanitation worker is on leave, then there are only one or two persons for the entire ward. How can the city have best cleanliness arrangements if this goes on,” said Rakesh Meena.
