The Tamil Nadu Thooimai Thozhilalar Sangham has appealed to Coimbatore Corporation to pay two month salary as bonus for Deepavali to all the conservancy workers under contract system. In a memorandum submitted to the District Collector on Monday, the association said that there are over 2,500 contract conservancy workers. They do not get any benefit except salary though most of them are from the economically weaker section. The Chief Minister has announced bonus for contract workers in other departments. Similarly, bonus should be paid to these workers too, the association said.
