Kodagu Civic Workers Strike Over Service Regularisation
Imagine the people who clean the streets and take out the trash in a place called Kodagu.
They went on strike because they want better jobs, like the same benefits as other government workers.
They also want their jobs to be made permanent.
Because of the strike, the trash didn't get picked up.
They stopped working to get the government to pay attention to them.
One leader from the government helped with the trash collection and talked to the workers.
They were able to get the workers to go back to work in one town.
Civic workers in Kodagu district launched an indefinite strike.
The strike involved over 300 staff members demanding service regularisation.
Workers seek equal benefits as state government employees.
Essential services, including waste collection, were disrupted by the strike.
In Virajpet, the strike ended after the MLA's personal involvement.
