Sacked conservancy workers meet GCC Commissioner

Without a job for eight months, they are demanding reinstatement

Representatives of conservancy workers from Anna Nagar zone, who were terminated earlier this year, met Greater Chennai Corporation Commissioner Gagandeep Singh Bedi on Monday, following their sit-in protests last week. Around 500 conservancy workers from Anna Nagar zone, engaged under the National Urban Livelihood Mission (NULM), were terminated in January without notice. Since then, they have organised multiple protests demanding their reinstatement. Last week, a group of affected men and women held a sit-in protest inside the zonal office in Shenoy Nagar for three days, before they were evicted on Saturday after assurance by officials that they could meet the Commissioner on Monday.
