‘Bills are not cleared for many months and salaries not paid’

The members of the A.P. Mid-day Meal Scheme Workers Union staged a protest alleging harassment by the YSR Congress Party workers, delay in clearance of their bills since many months and a few other issues here on Wednesday. They alleged that the State government has even failed to provide them salaries on time.

Later addressing a press conference at Gandhi Statue near GVMC building, State president of the union G. Varalakshmi said that around 200workers were sacked due to various reasons in Rolugunta, Madugula, Anakapalle, Yelamanchali and a few other areas in Visakhapatnam district, while many women have resigned from the jobs unable to bear the pressure and harassment from the YSRCP workers.
