Employees of the Karnataka Urban Water Supply and Drainage Board (KUWSDB) working on contract basis, who are facing the threat of discontinuation of services, will march to the residence of Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai in Hubballi on Sunday seeking relief.
The contract employees are on strike from the last five days demanding the continuation of their services as water supply service handled earlier by the KUWSDB has now been handed over to Larsen and Toubro (L&T) for operation.
Coordinator of the agitation committee V.N. Halakatti told presspersons in Dharwad on Saturday that talks with municipal commissioner B. Gopalkrishna had failed as the latter insisted that the contract workers should join L&T as contract workers only.
