Contract sanitation workers staged a sit-in protest in front of the Valparai Municipality office, demanding Deepavali bonus, payment of last month's salary and fulfilment of other demands.

Sanitation work is being carried out in all 21 wards under the Valparai Municipality. While permanent workers are employed for the work, an additional 55 sanitation workers have been engaged on a contract basis through a private agency.

The workers alleged that their monthly salaries were frequently delayed and not paid on the stipulated dates. Demanding timely payment of wages, Deepavali bonus and other benefits, the contract workers staged a sit-in protest in front of the municipal office on Wednesday.

As no officials came forward for talks, the protest continued until the evening. The workers subsequently announced that they would go on strike on Thursday.
