Chennai, December 4, 2025 – Conservancy workers in Ambattur Estate continued their demonstration yesterday, December 3rd, against the Greater Chennai Corporation’s (GCC) move to privatize solid waste management. Despite inclement weather, workers, organized by the Left Trade Union Centre (LTUC), voiced their concerns over job security and working conditions.

Protesters are demanding the implementation of a government order that guarantees a daily wage of ₹761 and access to toilet facilities in each ward, effective since April 1, 2025. Workers highlighted the lack of necessary protective equipment, particularly raincoats for those working during the monsoon season, leading to increased health risks.

The protest underscores growing concerns about the impact of privatization on essential public services and the rights of sanitation workers in Chennai.
