Road Workers in Gobi Stage Protest with Public Signature Campaign
The Tamil Nadu Road Workers Union organized a public signature campaign yesterday at the Gobi Bus Stand to voice their pressing demands. Union President Murugavel presided over the event, while District Secretary Karuppusamy addressed the gathering, emphasizing the need for immediate action from the state government.
The protest centered around two key demands:
- Revocation of Government Order 140
The road workers urged the government to withdraw the controversial Government Order 140 issued by the Tamil Nadu Highways Commission. The order has reportedly caused significant challenges for road workers. - Regularization of Suspension Period
The workers demanded that their 41 months of suspension from duty be recognized as official service time and regularized with appropriate orders.
The campaign witnessed active public participation, with numerous signatures collected in support of the workers’ grievances. The event highlighted the challenges faced by road workers and their plea for justice. The Tamil Nadu Road Workers Union reaffirmed their commitment to continuing peaceful protests until their demands are addressed.
