NOIDA: Two contractual workers employed with Noida Authority climbed up a mobile tower in Sector 39 on Thursday morning, demanding release of their salary. They said that they had phenyle and petrol to inflict self-injuries if their demands were not met, but they later climbed down after being assured by CEO Alok Tandon.

Manoj and Jitendra , from water and maintenance departments respectively, alleged that the Authority withheld their salaries for nine months because they had not submitted their Aadhaar. They feared that if they submit it, they will be handed over to a contractor and face salary cut.

Rajesh Kumar Singh, OSD, Noida Authority, said documents were needed for their EPF accounts. “ The workers climbed down after CEO Alok Tandon assured about their salary re-imbursement on festive season,” he said.
