Expressing disapproval over the practice of dumping garbage on roads as a mark of protest, the Delhi High Court has said it was "completely intolerable".
A bench of Acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice C Hari Shankar was referring to the recent agitation by New Delhi Municipal Council's (NDMC) contractual sanitation workers who dumped garbage outside prominent buildings, like Shastri Bhavan and Rail Bhavan in Lutyen's Delhi, demanding regularisation of jobs and better wages.
The protesting workers on May 24 had also dumped garbage outside NDMC's Convention Centre.
The garbage dumps had affected traffic in some areas.
Referring to the incident, the high court said,"This is no way of protesting. It is completely intolerable. It is also a public health issue."
