To oppose the Municipal Corporation of Delhi’s new scheme for privatising garbage collection and segregation, the All-India Kachra Sramik Mahasangh has decided to organise a rally at the MCD headquarters here on Thursday which is being observed as Human Rights Day.
Citing the loss of livelihoods for thousands of rag pickers as a result of the civic body’s decision, the Mahasangh has demanded that the MCD cancel the contract of the private company.
It also demanded that rag pickers be recognised as workers under the government’s social justice scheme.
