Faridabad: Distressed over unemployment, a group of sanitation workers today took off their clothes and held a march here. Unemployed for the past 93 days, 160 sanitation workers shouted slogans against the government and administration.

We are unable to pay electricity bills and landlords are asking us to vacate houses," Shastri added.
