Mathura: Sanitation worker sacked for carrying photos of PM Modi, Yogi Adityanath in garbage cart
Mathura (UP), Jul 17: Services of a contractual sanitation worker were terminated after framed portraits of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath were found in his garbage cart, officials said here on Sunday.
The matter came to the fore on Saturday, when a video circulated on the social media showing a sanitation worker, Bobby, posted in Generalganj area, carrying portraits of Modi and Adityanath in his wheel barrow.
The videos showed some people accosting Bobby as he was going about his business, and asking him about the portraits in the barrow with garbage.
The sanitation worker said he found the portraits in a street and he was just doing his job.
The people took out the two portraits -- a third was nearly destroyed -- as some other recorded the act on mobile, which they eventually shared on social media later.
One of them washed the portraits and took them with him, another video that surfaced on the social media showed.
Contractual sanitation worker Bobby was found lax in his work and his services were terminated, Additional Municipal Commissioner, Mathura-Vrindavan Nagar Nigam, Satyendra Kumar Tiwari, said.
Bobby, however, said that he was only doing his job and collected the garbage. He said it was not his mistake that there were portraits of the PM and the UP CM in the garbage.
"Before initiating action, at least what actually happened in reality should be considered and it should have been ascertained whether I was at fault or not," he said.

Patna-bound IndiGo flight makes emergency landing at Lucknow due to bad weather
Lucknow (PTI): Adverse weather forced an IndiGo Kolkata-Patna flight to make an emergency landing at Lucknow airport on Friday, airport sources said.
According to airport officials, weather conditions in Patna deteriorated suddenly on Friday afternoon, affecting flight operations.
IndiGo flight 6E 6917 from Kolkata, which was scheduled to land in Patna at 3.50 pm, could not land due to bad weather and kept circling in the air after failing to get clearance from air traffic control, they said.
The flight was later diverted to Lucknow and landed safely at the Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport at around 5.15 pm. There were 180 passengers and six crew members on board, officials said.
The aircraft was later allowed to depart for Patna after weather conditions improved.
