Uttar Pradesh: The contractual worker had maintained that he was only doing his job and that it was not his fault that the portraits were found in the garbage.
The authorities here reinstated a sanitation worker on Tuesday, days after he was sacked when portraits of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath were found in his garbage cart.
The decision to terminate his services faced severe criticism on social media.
Following this, Municipal Commissioner, Mathura-Vrindavan Nagar Nigam, Anunaya Jha said that after taking note of demands raised by the worker and his family, he was taken back on duty with a warning.
The matter came to light on Saturday after videos circulated on social media showed contractual sanitation worker Bobby, posted in the Generalganj area, carrying framed portraits of PM Modi and Yogi Adityanath in his wheel barrow.
