15 Aug
Summary
- Conservancy workers thanked CM Stalin for new welfare announcements
- State government approved 6 proposals to support conservancy workers
- Announcements came after protests by Greater Chennai Corporation workers
On August 15, 2025, conservancy workers and employees from various associations visited Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin's camp office in Chennai to thank him for the welfare announcements made the previous day.
The state government had approved 6 proposals aimed at improving the lives of conservancy workers across Tamil Nadu. These include providing free breakfast, medical treatment, housing, increased solatium, subsidies for entrepreneurship, and education assistance for their children.
The announcements came just a day after conservancy workers from the Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) were evicted and detained from outside the Ripon Building while protesting. Ministers, the Chennai Mayor, and senior officials were present when the workers handed over a letter of gratitude to the Chief Minister.
The new welfare measures are expected to significantly improve the living and working conditions of conservancy workers, who have long demanded better support from the state government.
