Delhi suffers as MCD strike enters 13th day

February 08, 2016 10:47

The sanitation workers strike of Municipal Corporations of Delhi entered 13th day on Monday over the non-payment of salary and allowances.

With garbage piling up in different areas, the strike is creating hardship to the people.

"We should get all our dues from 2003. The temporary workers should be made permanent. The Delhi government, had on October 23, 2015 said that the pending arrears would be cleared. But, it hasn't been cleared even now. The government is misleading us and somewhere we are becoming the victims of politics," said one of the protesters.

"If any Talibani diktat is announced or if even a single employee of the MCD is removed, then we would make this protest very aggressive and the government would then have to pay its price," he added.

On Saturday, Municipal Corporation Teachers Association called off their indefinite strike after they received their pending salaries. Along with the teachers, MCD doctors and para-medical staff have also ended their strike.
