With his Swachh Telangana and Swachh Hyderabad campaign going for a toss and garbage piling up at every nook and corner of Hyderabad, Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on Monday talked tough against the striking Municipal employees.
He expressed serious displeasure over the GHMC outsourcing workers continuing their strike for the eighth consecutive day. KCR gave an ultimatum to the striking workers to withdraw their stir by evening and resume duties by Tuesday morning as usual.
He said since outsourcing employees were not employees of the corporation, they must offer services, or else they will be replaced by others.
The Government will consider their demand for salary hike and others after a discussion with officials only when they resume duties keeping in view the Ramzan and other festivals in the offing.
The Government will press into service the Army, Police and other officials as an alternative to take up cleansing works, the Chief Minister warned.
