Conservancy workers employed by the Greater Chennai Corporation struck work in Zone 7 (Ambattur) on Tuesday, demanding that their salaries be paid in cash. Residents of Ambattur were surprised on Monday as door-to-door garbage collection was not done. As their demands had not been met for a fortnight after the demonetisation move, conservancy workers gathered outside the Ambattur Corporation zone office seeking their salaries.
