Three sanitation workers attempted to commit suicide by drinking phenyl in Bopal-Ghuma on Thursday. They were rushed to the Sola government hospital in Ahmedabad, and are under treatment. They were protesting against the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation for appointing 53 new sanitation workers in the area.

Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation Standing Committee Chairman Hitendra Barot told the media, "New sanitation workers were appointed in the Bopal-Ghuma area, and when they reported for duty on Thursday, some left out sanitation workers protested.
