Proddatur (GR-TYP-BIN): Municipal Workers launched a fast-unto-death strike on January 26, protesting the removal of 74 workers recently.
‘We took up dharnas, relay fasts and finally the hunger strike for the injustice meted out to us. We are fighting for an unconditional and immediate reinstatement’, said the workers. We continue the hunger strike until our demand is met, they added.
In protest against removal, Ms. Prameela, Ms. Lakshmidevi and Mr. Anvesh are on the hunger strike. The outsourcing workers boycotted duties and expressed solidarity with the hunger strikers. CITU, SFI, Anganwadi Workers Union and leaders of political parties also have shown their solidarity.
