Contractors protest unpaid bills at GHMC office in Hyderabad, 2 attempt suicide

Amid protests at the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) headquarters on Thursday, January 9, two individuals attempted suicide by dousing themselves in petrol, as contractors voiced their concerns over unpaid bills.

The two contractors who attempted suicide were swiftly rescued by their



fellow workers and have been reportedly taken to a hospital in Hyderabad for a medical check-up.

Raising slogans like “No payment, No work”, they threatened to stop working on all the civic maintenance projects across Hyderabad. Some contractors claimed that their bills had been pending for over a year.
