Mangaluru, Dec 17: Workers of Antony Waste Handling Cell Pvt Ltd including drivers of solid waste transport vehicles staged a protest in front its office at Baikampady, pressing various demands on Thursday December 17.

Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) joint commissioner who visited the protest venue, assured civic workers of providing monthly salary very soon. He also sought time to provide bonus to the workers.

It is said that the Antony Waste Handling Cell has assured of providing monthly salary by January 21 and bonus in the same month. The company has also assured of providing overtime wages, repair vehicles in time and look into the issue of harassment of employees by officers.

    Garbage is never collected daily by these civic workers, and whenever delay in picking up garbage the stray dogs destroy the plastic bags and mess up the area.You cannot dispose in bins anymore as there are no proper places to dispose .

    Mangagala ooru is definitely turned to be land of monkeys.

    citizens are not bothered about any issues in the city.

    MCC is totally corrupt. Pollution and quality of drinking water is at its worst.

    This will not be smart city in another 100 years also. Only Mysuru is the best city in Karnataka.

    Jossey Saldanha, Mumbai, I too feel the same too. Something wrong somewhere but the civic workers need their dues as otherwise this city will stink.
