Contract workers in Wards 60, 61, 62 and 63 in East Zone of Coimbatore Corporation were in for a shock on Saturday after seeing that the civic body used garbage vehicles to deliver their food. The Corporation has been delivering breakfast to the contract workers identified as domestic breeding checkers and engaged in anti-malarial work and in the pandemic for conducting door-to-door survey and mobilising people to fever camps. On Saturday morning, when the workers were at the East Zone office in Singanallur, they, to their utter disbelief, saw a garbage vehicle with the food meant for them. The Corporation supplied idli, vada, chutney and sambar or kichadi, vada, chutney and sambar to the workers after they marked their attendance at the ward offices concerned, said E.R. Selvam of the Tamil Nadu Annal Ambedkar Sugadhara Thuppuravu Matrum Podhu Paniyalar Sangam, a workers’ union.
