June 08, 2015 10:26

NDTV reports: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will today meet the city's sanitation workers who have been on a strike for the last 10 days over non-payment of salaries.

Senior civic body officials will also attend the meeting which will be held at the Ramlila grounds.

The agitation has resulted in mounds of garbage lying unattended in many areas of North and East Delhi.

Last week, sanitation workers affiliated to different unions from the three civic bodies met Kejriwal and his Deputy Manish Sisodia and raised the issue of not having received their salaries for the last two months.

The chief minister had assured the unions that the matter was being looked into.
