A demonstration was staged by a section of sanitation workers outside Deputy CM Manish Sisodia's office in east Delhi's Mayur Vihar area, demanding fulfillment of their demands like regularisation of ad hoc workers and payment of dues.
Scores of demonstrators headed by leaders of Rashtriya Safai Mazdoor Congress raising slogans against the government marched from Chand Cinema to Sisodia's office and torched his effigy in a mark of protest over their pending demands.
"We reached Sisodia's office and torched his effigy as government has not yet met sanitation workers' demands including cashless health cards, regularisation of ad hoc workers and payment of our dues," said Veer Singh Dhingan, national secretary of the organisation.
He said the sanitation workers will stage a demonstration at the Chief Minister's residence in the near future if their demands remained unfulfilled.
