SHAIKMOHIDEEN Seeking a salary hike, a group of contract workers of Gangaikondan SIPCOT Industrial Growth Centre submitted a petition to District Revenue Officer M. Durai during the weekly grievances redressal meet held at the Collectorate here on Monday. The petitioners, who have been engaged as contract labourers at the centre since 2020, said they worked eight to 10 hours a day and received a salary hike of ₹1,000 in 2025. While salary for contract workers at SIPCOT’s headquarters in Chennai is being fixed based on their experience, a similar norm has not been applied for them.
