Following protests by Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) city leaders and activists, led by CPI(M), the government assured compensation for the family of sanitation worker Meda Manikyala Rao who died while cleaning an underground sewer in Vijayawada.
Manikyala Rao died after inhaling poisonous poisonous gases after descending into a manhole in the Badavapeta area of the city on Saturday.
