Tirupati: 1,300 workers jobless amid coronavirus outbreak

Well known to be one of India's richest Hindu shrine, Tirupati Balaji temple in Andhra Pradesh ends contract with 1,300 workers amid the coronavirus outbreak. It is reportedly said that the staffers were taking care of the temple's sanitation and were told not to report for work from May 1.

It is reportedly said the firm, that supplied the workers was intimated that the contract, which allegedly expired on April 30, would not be renewed. Y V Subba Reddy, the chairman of the temple's trust told a media organisation that their services were discontinued.

Since the temple trust is managed indirectly by the state government, we request state government not to make these people jobless. Tirupati temple trust has no lack of funds and Crores of donation is given to it by Hindus from all over the country. Let us not make a bad example by firing poor workers during this crisis situation.
