Waste collection operations across five zones under the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) resumed on Saturday after employees of AG Enviro Solutions Pvt Ltd called off their strike. The protest was withdrawn following the company’s disbursement of ₹1.33 crore towards pending leave encashment dues.
The sanitation workers had halted door-to-door garbage collection on Friday, citing delays in leave encashment and alleging financial and mental harassment. After a round of negotiations, the management addressed their concerns, leading to the resolution of the strike.
AG Enviro Project Head, Dr. Sameer Tonpe, denied allegations of irregular salary disbursement, stating that employees are consistently paid by the 15th of each month. This month’s salaries were credited on June 11, he added. Tonpe acknowledged occasional minor delays due to calculation issues but maintained that payments are generally on time.
Addressing the demands made during the strike, Dr. Tonpe claimed that some employees had sought leave encashment for 58 days—well beyond government-mandated limits. He also accused certain staff members of misconduct, including diesel theft, unauthorized scrap sales, and reporting to work under the influence of alcohol.
