Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. (Twitter/Yogi Adityanath)The contractual service of a 40-year-old sanitation worker was terminated for allegedly carrying photos of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in a trash can in Mathura.
While showcause notices have been issued to the sanitary inspector and sanitary supervisor for not briefing the sanitary worker about the photographs of dignitaries and public representatives, a probe has also been ordered.
In his representation to the municipal corporation, sanitation worker Bobby said he was innocent as he was illiterate and failed to identify the photographs, said a senior official of the municipal department.
Mathura’s Municipal Commissioner Anunaya Jha said a fact-finding committee has been instituted into the matter. The committee has been asked to submit its report in 48 hours. “A final decision on the issue will be taken after the fact-finding committee submits its report,” said Jha.
According to the official, Bobby was carrying trash that he had collected from a trash collection centre on Saturday. In the trash can, there were photographs of the PM and CM. On the way, Bobby was intercepted by two persons from Rajasthan. They made a video in which he is seen carrying the trash with photographs of the PM and CM. The photographs were removed from the trash can and Bobby left the spot. The video was widely shared on social media.
An official said, “The contract of sanitation worker Bobby was terminated because the PM and CM could be identified in photographs easily. We have considered Bobby’s representation on compassionate ground and a decision will be taken in the coming days.”
