All India Central Council of Trade Unions has urged the Coimbatore Corporation to pay wages for workers by the 10th of every month. The Council general secretary K. Balasubramanian said even after the 13th, the Corporation had not paid the wages. The civic body had engaged around 4,000 workers on contract basis and they were paid less than their counterparts who were regular employees. Delay in disbursal of wages would affect them. The Council also urged the Corporation to regularise the services of those contract workers, provide equal wages for equal work, supply safety gear, increase wage that was pending for over three years, provide identity cards for those workers for whom insurance premium was deducted and provide uniform life cover of ₹ 50 lakh for all workers.The election authorities are gearing up for the counting of votes cast in the simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh, scheduled to be held on June 4. The Collectors and Election Officers of Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli and Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) districts said on May 23 (Thursday) that their teams were ready for the counting of votes.
Responding to the prolonged water scarcity, the residents of the area took to the streets in protest on Wednesday. The protest, which drew attention to their plight, stopped only after the intervention of the police. It was not until 1.30 p.m. that a 4000-litre tanker was finally delivered by BWSSB, providing relief to the water-starved residents.
