Outsourcing employees sit in GHMC headquarters and ask them to back down

The future of the 262 outsourcing employees of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation is pending, as they have not received any position and have not received any salary so far.

On Wednesday, employees sat in GHMC headquarters and asked them to work in the transportation department.

The employees are part of the Transport Wing’s 814 workers who were transferred to law enforcement, vigilance and disaster management departments after they were founded seven years ago. After the earlier sanitation of transport wings, its correlation lost after many companies' own garbage trucks had gone out of business and were abandoned.

Of the 814 people, more than 300 employees resisted the change and continued to work in GHMC's vehicle parking lots and transfer stations. Those transferred to EV and DM are still taking salaries from GHMC, as the former is part of GHMC, despite having functional autonomy.

After the Hyderabad Disaster Response and Asset Protection Agency constitution, most of the GHMC employees who worked with EV&DM were moved to Hydraa while working as security guards at Lakes and Parks. GHMC has restored approximately 120 workers as health field aides in the health department.

“We have recently been freed from Hydraa because its chief believes we are not eligible for policing. We returned to GHMC but found that we have no job here.”

Another worker, Mohammed Zaheeruddin, said that at the start of the fiscal year, the GHMC tender invited outsourced workers' human agencies, excluding workers returning from Hydraa.

“We have not received our salary so far. We don't know where we work,” he said.

When Hydraa Chief Ranganath contacted Ranganath, he refuted his own freedom from work.

“They repeatedly asked me to send them back to my parent company and even brought MLC M. Kodanandaram to them,” he said.

After the demonstration, the workers met with other specialists at CN Raghu Prasad, the Health and Transport Company, who reportedly assured them that the issue would be received to the GHMC specialist.
