At Tikri border, almost every group of farmers is equipped with a broom and a plastic bag. While a few langar organisers have set up dustbins, these are not enough. Sanjeev Kumar (42), a petrol pump sanitation worker, is now tasked with cleaning the area in front of the pump, where many langars have been set up: “Earlier, I would sweep around 5-6 kg of waste to one corner of the petrol pump, till the Nagar Parishad truck came in. Since the protests started, I sweep aside 80-90 kg of waste. Once I have done this, sanitation workers come and do the needful.”
