Sircilla Textile Park Workers Strike Over Wages
Workers at the Sircilla Textile Park are on strike because they want more money.
They feel they aren't being paid enough for their hard work.
The workers' union organized the strike after the management didn't agree to raise their pay.
They marched and protested, asking for their wages to be increased, including a demand for Rs 1,000 per day for government orders.
The workers are upset because the management is paying them very little, about Rs 500 a day.
They've warned that if the management doesn't listen, they'll make the strike even bigger with help from other groups.
