The services of 172 pourakarmikas was regularised by the government.
The Mayor Mr. Shivakumar said the workers whose services were regularised were earlier under the contract system which was abolished.
They used to be paid directly by the MCC though their services were not regularised. The process of regularisation has been completed in the case of 172 out of 203 pourakarmikas, said Mr. Shivakumar. He said a notification to this effect has been issued and the pourakarmikas whose services have been regularised, will now be eligible for all facilities as per the government norms.
