A GR issued by the government declared that the workers of NMC can get October month remuneration before the Diwali, however, on October nine the aforementioned GR was off. and every one the hopes of the workers shattered and that they are extremely thwarted by it.

The civic administration has not ready the remuneration bills for August month because of the delay of approval.
