KHAMAMM: As many as 500 migrant labourers working in various granite factories in Khammam, who have been facing severe financial issues ever since the commencement of the nationwide lockdown, staged a protest here on Tuesday demanding the officials to let them go back to their native areas in other states.
The workers staged a demonstration at the Khammam Two Town police station and also took out a rally from Khanapuram Haveli industrial area to Yellandu crossroads. During the stir, the protesting workers alleged that the managements of the granite companies they work for are neglecting them, as a result of which hundreds of migrants are left in the lurch.
Upon hearing this, a police team led by Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police D Muralidhar rushed to the spot and interacted with the protestors and pacified them
