We will continue our agitation till the government will accepts our demands."
Madhira Ravindra Babu, another block project coordinator from Guntur district said, "We have submitted our representation in the Chief Minister's office. In spite of it, the government did not take any decision to renew our services. The Central government directed the State not to remove any employees during the lockdown. In spite it, we have been removed from service. I am requesting the State government to reinstate 340 outsourced employees."
