Some water managers of the Haveri Municipal Council on Thursday protested against the delay in the release of their salaries. Water supply contractors gathered in protest outside the municipal council and demanded regular salaries.
They displayed bottles of poison and threatened to drink the poison if they did not immediately release their salary. They said the civic body had not paid their salaries for nearly four months.
However, senior officers like the Municipal Commissioner and others tried to persuade them to withdraw their protest.
