Hundreds of MCD protesting sanitation workers on Thursday piled up garbage outside Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia's residence over non-payment of their dues.
"We are very much disturbed. We have not been paid for the last three to four months. If the Delhi Government has paid us, then they should show it to us. Then, we will meet with our MCD officials and demand our money," said one of the protestor.
"If the government has released payment of the MCD workers, then where is it? They can ask the MCD officials as to why they are not paying the employees," said another protestor.
Over 1.5 lakh MCD employees including sanitation workers and other employees of the three municipal corporations - NDMC, SDMC and EDMC - have decided to go on a three-day strike from today over non-payment of dues.
The cash-strapped North and East Delhi civic bodies have been unable to pay salaries to workers for three to four months now.
