KCR had then assured the sanitation workers that their salaries would be hiked again later, and he delivered on



his promise on Tuesday. Municipal Administration and Urban Development Minister K T Rama Rao, City Mayor Bonthu Rammohan and GHMC Commissioner Janardhan Reddy had also requested the Chief Minister to hike the salaries of sanitation workers.
