A union has staged a protest seeking financial benefits for contractual workers. The workers are demanding a monthly special allowance of Rs 7,500. This amount was approved to provide relief to those engaged in civic services. However, the payment has not been made yet. The protest was held outside a municipal corporation building.

The civic body has said that a proposal is under review. Further details about the protest and the proposal are available.

A resolution to the protest was reached after an assurance was given by a commissioner, leading to the protest being called off.
