HUBLI: The Karnataka State Government Daily Wage Employees Federation will launch an agitation for the regularisation of the services of 17,000 daily wage employees, beginning May 1.

Federation president K.S. Sharma told reporters here on Tuesday that in the first phase May Day would be observed as "Daily Wage Employees Regularisation Demand Day". In the second phase, a "do or die" struggle would be launched on May 7 in Bangalore.

Dr. Sharma said that when the daily wage employees staged a dharna in Bangalore on December 12, Health Minister R. Ashok met the protesters and said the Cabinet had decided to constitute a subcommittee to consider their demand. Four months had passed, but nothing had been done, he said.
