Conservancy workers and employees with various associations called on Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin at his camp office in Chennai on Friday (August 15, 2025), and thanked him for the announcements made on Thursday (August 14) for their welfare.

An official release said they handed over a letter thanking the Chief Minister for the announcements made by the State government for the welfare of conservancy workers, in response to their long-term demands.

Ministers K.N. Nehru, E.V. Velu, Ma. Subramanian, and P.K. Sekarbabu, Chennai Mayor R. Priya, and senior officials were also present on the occasion.

The Tamil Nadu Cabinet on Thursday approved six proposals aimed at the welfare of conservancy workers in the State, including free breakfast, medical treatment, housing, increased solatium, subsidy for entrepreneurship, and education assistance for their children. The development came the morning after protesting conservancy workers of the Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) were evicted and detained from outside Ripon Building.
