Bengaluru; Hostel outsourcing workers’ protest continues, 16 women workers admitted to hospital
Bengaluru, July 1: The government residential schools outsourcing workers protest condemning their removal from the schools entered the sixth day on Sunday and 16 women were admitted to the hospital after fainting. All the 16 women were getting treatment at the KC General Hospital in the city.
Because of the rain in the city, the agitators fall sick and were suffering from fever, cold, cough and weakness and fainted. An ambulance was stationed at the place where they were staging protest and treating them.
No safety
The hundreds of women workers who were staging protest at the Freedom Park do not have safety and security during night. They do not have drinking water and toilet facility. There are no sufficient women constables, the agitators alleged.
Demands
Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy has already held one round of discussion with the agitators and assured of directing the minister concerned and officials to stop removal of the outsourcing workers from the service. But the agitators said that they want order instead of promise. So, they continued their protest, it is said.
Outsourcing Workers Association assistant secretary K Hanume Gowda said that the workers are coming under the Social Welfare and Backward Classes departments. Till now, no minister has come and listened to their grievances. So, they want order instead of just promise, he said.
Give order copy
It is not fair to remove the outsourcing workers in government residential schools unilaterally. So, the department concerned should give them the order copy. Till then, they would continue their protest peacefully.
-K Hanume Gowda
Steps would be taken shortly to solve the problem of the government residential schools outsourcing workers.
-Priyank Kharge, Social Welfare Department Minister
