The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) sweepers have been engaged in a difficult battle to win since Wednesday morning. The enemy is very light and difficult to manage. Just when the sweeper feels that she has controlled the enemy, a gust of wind sets the enemy free. Though ultimately the winner will be the worker, it comes at the cost of the worker’s health.
The use of coloured paper strips during the Ganesha procession has become a huge headache for the sweepers to clear.
