Seasonal procurement workers go on strike in Thanjavur
Seasonal workers at paddy procurement centers staged a protest demanding regularization of jobs and better working conditions.
Seasonal workers employed at paddy procurement centers in Thanjavur and Kumbakonam districts launched a sit-in protest demanding permanent employment status.
The protesters highlighted issues such as the failure to move accumulated paddy stocks from procurement centers, improper quality of gunny bags provided, and the unjust practice of imposing penalties on workers for crop damage caused by natural disasters. They demanded immediate action to rectify these logistical issues.
