A 21-day strike by Municipal Council and fire brigade employees in Hansi, Haryana, turned confrontational on Wednesday when the administration deployed agency workers to carry out sanitation work. In the Kali Devi area, striking employees allegedly tried to stop the agency team, leading to a scuffle with police. Around 20-22 male and female sanitation workers were detained and taken from the Hansi City police station towards Jind in a bus. Other striking employees followed the vehicle, stopped it near the Hisar-Delhi bypass, and surrounded the bus, resulting in another confrontation. The detained workers were subsequently released.
