Mysore/Mysuru: Seeking regularisation of services and payment of morning breakfast allowance, Underground Drainage (UGD) workers of
Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) will stage a demonstration on Dec. 14 in front of MCC office.
Addressing a press meet here on Thursday, N. Mara, President of Committee of Underground Drainage Workers, Assistants and Pourakarmikas Association, said that there were 231 contract pourakarmikas (Safai Karmacharis) working in the UGD section of the MCC and the Government must regularise their services.
Maintaining that a few UGD workers who had died while on duty are yet to get compensation as they were not regular workers, Mara said that several Safai Karmacharis had suffered injuries while on work, while some others have taken ill. Highlighting the conditions under which the UGD workers have been working, he urged the Government to come to their rescue.
