K'taka regularises 12,000+ pourakarmikas after years of struggle
Over 12,000 pourakarmikas across Karnataka had their jobs regularised on 1 May, following years of protest and advocacy for permanent employment. The move brings long-overdue job security, dignity, and access to welfare benefits for sanitation workers across the state. CM Siddaramaiah and AICC President Mallikarjuna Kharge personally handed over appointment letters to 54 BBMP pourakarmikas.
