₹10 lakh insurance cover for 484 Coimbatore conservancy workers

The Coimbatore Municipal Corporation has secured group insurance coverage for 484 conservancy workers following a direction from the Tamil Nadu State Commission for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. Each worker has been provided with an insurance coverage of ₹10 lakh.

“This is the first time that a Municipal Corporation has done this. We have been fighting for more than a year to get insurance coverage for conservancy workers,” said Imayam, Chairman-in-charge of the Commission. He said the Commission had received the list of workers covered under the group insurance scheme.
