Sachivalayam Employees Stage 'Chalo Vijayawada' Protest Despite Police Restrictions
Employees of Swarna Gramam and Ward Sachivalayams organised the 'Chalo Vijayawada' protest on September 27, demanding two notional increments, pending wages, and a permanent promotion structure. Despite police warnings citing Section 30 of the Police Act and prohibiting protests due to heavy rains and Ganesh Nimajjanam, thousands participated at Dharna Chowk. Some protestors were detained, and minor injuries were reported. The employees allege government neglect and called for dialogue, while authorities maintained the protest was unauthorized.
