Over 100 sanitation workers protested in Periyamettai for job regularisation, a wage hike, and unkept election promises. They want the current ₹19,000 pay raised to at least ₹25,000. Uzhaippor Urimai Iyakkam says even the collector-notified ₹832 daily wage has not been paid. The protest will continue until they meet the chief minister, they said, even after arrests.
