GCC to privatise solid waste management in Tondiarpet, Anna Nagar
CHENNAI: Even as conservancy workers staged a human chain protest on Wednesday opposing the privatisation of solid waste management (SWM) in the city, the Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) floated tenders to appoint private agencies for garbage collection and transportation in Tondiarpet and Anna Nagar -- the two zones where waste management was handled directly by the civic body. With this, solid waste management in all 14 zones in the city will be privatised, leaving only around 12 divisions in Ambattur zone under the oversee of GCC. It may be noted that last month the corporation handed over solid waste collection and transportation operations in Royapuram and Thiru-Vi-Ka Nagar zones to Delhi MSW Solutions Limited. The sanitary workers on Wednesday led by CITU from at least 10 zones joined the protest at 6:30 am, which continued for nearly an hour across multiple locations before workers resumed their duties. Protesters raised concerns about poor wages and discriminatory employment practices in the privatised system. "Contract workers under private agencies receive only around `570 per day, compared to Rs 753 paid to regular corporation workers," said P Srinivasalu, general secretary of CITU. "Private contractors also hesitate to hire anyone above 45 years of age unless with some conditions without PF and ESI benefits." They demanded the implementation of the DMK government's election promise to abolish the contract system in government departments and provide permanent employment to sanitary workers. Despite these protests, the corporation has initiated the bidding process to privatise solid waste operations in Tondiarpet and Anna Nagar zones, which together span 50.85 sq km and are home to an estimated 21.39 lakh people and 5.34 lakh households as per 2025 projections.
