Kalyan: A dispute has emerged over allegations of assault against a KDMC supervisor at the Umbarde waste processing plant, leading to a strike by contract workers and garbage collection vehicles queuing outside the facility. The shutdown has sparked concerns about potential disruption to waste disposal services across Kalyan-Dombivli.
Contract workers have refused to resume work until action is taken against the alleged assailant, BJP district vice-president Vijay Joshi. The incident occurred during an inspection by BJP MLA Sulabha Gaikwad, who raised concerns about the plant's functioning and contractor performance. Workers allege that Joshi abused and assaulted supervisor Kiran Rasal during the inspection.
Congress leaders have demanded strict action and threatened protests if the administration fails to address the situation. The shutdown could put additional pressure on the civic body's waste management system and impact sanitation in the twin cities.
