At a meeting of the committee, the members decided to hand over a memorandum to the municipal commissioner on May 23. They decided to step up their agitation if the recruitment of sanitation employees would not start.

Talking to mediapersons, president of the Coordination Committee Kaushal Kumar Shukla demanded that the tenders, invited for handing over the sanitation work to private companies, should be withdrawn, and the tube well operation work allotted to the private agencies should be suspended. He demanded that employees on assignment basis should be involved in sanitation work.

Shukla demanded that disparity in the pay-scale and pension between state government employees and corporation employees should be removed. He said that government had promised to fulfill their demands but so far they were getting only lip services from them. If their demands are not fulfilled, they would stage a demonstration on May 29 and new strategy for another phase of agitation would be decided.
