Forced to work sans safety gear: TCMC sanitation staff
The New Indian Express
|June 04, 2026
A section of conservancy workers employed through a private agency (Our Land) in Tambaram corporation (TCMC) has alleged they are being forced to handle garbage without basic safety gear such as gloves, boots and helmets.
The workers said no one among those who joined over the past year has received the safety kit which typically consists of a cap, a reflective jacket, a pair of gloves, rubber boots and a mask. For those who had joined before that, only one or two sets of safety gear were issued per ward.
