Manholes and sewer lines overflowed and sunk Hyderabad city roads as casual workers of Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board staff and workers’ union went on an indefinite strike on June 18, demanding regularisation.
According to the Union, the High Court issued orders to the Water Board to regularize 294 out of 500 workers, but the Water Board had ignored this directive of the High Court. Meanwhile the Water Board has arrogantly declared that the Union is not “recognized” and the work is an “essential service” in which any type of agitation is prohibited. “no work, no pay” policy as well as disciplinary action would be taken against the striking workers.
