Coimbatore: Forty-nine guest workers from different parts of the state and Kerala who were temporarily staying in a community hall near the Thandu Mariamman temple in the city have been shifted to a corporation school in Varadarajapuram on Sunday.
The move comes after the guest workers had gathered at the collectorate on Saturday night seeking proper facilities. The workers are being taken care of by a volunteer group that sources food and other essential items for them.
Vivek, a volunteer, said they were moved to the school around 10.30am on Sunday. “We, along with officials, had been looking for a place for them for the past three days as we thought the local residents near the temple might oppose if the workers stayed in the community hall any longer,” he said.
Of the total 50 workers who were stranded, one person was unwell and had been taken to the ESIC Hospital, said Vivek. TNN
