Chennai Sanitation Workers Evicted After Protesting Privatization

Sanitation workers in Chennai were protesting because they were worried about losing their jobs due to the city hiring private companies.

They also wanted to become permanent government employees, as promised.

After 14 days, the police removed them from where they were protesting.

The government announced some help for the workers, like money and housing, but didn't make them permanent employees.

Other political parties are criticizing the government's actions.
