Around 100 contractual health workers employed by the Mira Bhayandar Municipal Corporation (MBMC) in Thane district of Maharashtra held a ‘begging protest’ against the civic body, alleging non-payment of wages by it for the last four months.

These workers - nurses and ward boys - held the agitation outside the civic headquarters on Wednesday. They have been providing their services at the Pandit Bhimsen Joshi Covid Hospital run by the MBMC.
