Salaries of Municipal Corporation of Delhi's sanitation workers for the month of June were credited on July 1, Mayor Shelly Oberoi said on Tuesday and claimed this never happened during the BJP's 15-year rule in the agency.

Addressing a press conference at the Civic Centre in New Delhi, Oberoi said there are around 30,500 full-time sanitation workers in the MCD and about 16,000 daily wagers.

"Our dream is to make Delhi clean and beautiful. It is also the dream of the AAP and our Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. Sanitation workers are the backbone of the MCD. We want to congratulate our sanitation workers as their salaries for the month of June were credited on the first day of July," the mayor said. Terming it a "big achievement", Oberoi claimed this is the "first time" that the salaries of sanitation workers in Delhi have been credited on the first day of the month.
