He warned that all the sanitation workers in the district would resort to indefinite strike from July 1 onwards if the government failed to concede the demands of the contract and sanitation workers by June 29. District CPI secretary S Nagarajan explained the woes of sanitation workers . AITUC leaders Mani Vijayakumar, Chandra and others were present .
