Sri Ganganagar: Representatives of the Sanitation Workers' Union met Madhusudan Bihani, representative of MLA Jaideep Bihani, at the MLA Service Centre on Monday to highlight several long-pending issues affecting sanitation workers.

The delegation included former Municipal Council Chairman Shyam Dhariwal, State Vice-President of the Sanitation Workers' Union Umesh Valmiki, and District President Anil Dhariwal. They submitted a memorandum outlining their key demands and urged prompt action to address them.
