Rajasthan sanitation worker recruitment disputes

Overview

In Alwar, Rajasthan State Minister for Forests Sanjay Sharma staged a protest at the Municipal Corporation office to support sanitation workers facing delayed appointments. The dispute centered on the recruitment of 69 candidates from a 2012 hiring process, which the Rajasthan High Court had previously ordered the corporation to fulfill. Sharma expressed dissatisfaction with local officials, alleging they had refused to issue appointment letters to members of the Valmiki community.

Following these developments, the Rajasthan Department of Local Self Government announced a large-scale recruitment drive for 24,752 sanitation worker positions across 183 urban local bodies. This recruitment, conducted under the 2022 contractual hiring rules, opened for online applications on August 15, 2026.
