Unfazed Delhi govt sets up 'task force' to clear garbage
January 30, 2016 12:28
Undeterred by the indefinite protest by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi workers who are agitating over the non-payment of their dues, the public works department, which comes under the Delhi government has set up a task force to clean up the piling garbage across the city.
PWD minister Satyendra Jain has deployed around 100 trucks with 10 workers each to clean up the city.
Meanwhile, the strike by MCD workers entered its fourth day today as the protestors who are venting their ire by dumping piles of garbage outside the homes and offices of Aam Aadmi Party leaders, agitated outside the residence of Delhi assembly Speaker Ram Niwas Goel on Saturday.
"We are not being paid because of AAP's internal conflicts. We are suffering because of them and so are our families. We have to pay rent and send our kids to school. What should we do if we don't get paid?" a protestor told ANI.
