Scores of sanitation workers from the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) on Thursday staged a protest outside Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia’s official residence, demanding “immediate” release of funds for their salaries.
They also threatened to suspend work for an “indefinite” period if their demands are not met.
Sanjay Gehlot, president of Mazdoor Vikas Samyukta Morcha, claimed that employees from all the three civic bodies have taken part in the strike. Besides salaries, the employees are seeking payment of arrears, regularisation of contract-based employees and unification of the three corporations.
