Working non-stop for about 16 hours daily for the past one month, the temporary sanitary workers hired for the beautification of #Mahabalipuram say they have not been paid even one rupee so far. #ModixijinpingMeet #ModiXiSummit @xpresstn @NewIndianXpress 
Some of these workers are daily wage laborers under the Mahatma Gandhi Rural National Employment Guarantee Act. These workers fear, the Mahabalipuram Town Panchayat would compensate them with the meager MGNREGA wage instead of paying them separately.
Unlike the cotton/resin gloves or bigger brooms with brush provided for permanent civic body employees, the temporary workers hired were given low quality polytene gloves & stick brooms.
