Waste now flung on North Delhi roads

NEW DELHI: Sanitation workers of North and South Corporations have gone on strike as their demands for regularization of their jobs and a cashless medical insurance scheme have not been taken up. While sanitation workers in north Delhi flung garbage on the streets, their counterparts in south announced that dhalaos would no longer be emptied from now.

"We want regularization of our jobs. Arrears haven't been cleared for almost a decade. East Corporation has agreed to some of our demands but North and South Corporations aren't even considering them," Rajinder Mewati, president, Akhil Bhartiye Safai Mazdoor Union, said.

On Thursday, not only sanitation workers but also dengue and malaria breeding checkers and health workers joined the protest as they, too, have been demanding job regularization for long.

"Chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, promised us that all contract employees would be regularized. Our protest is against municipal corporations for not clearing our dues, against AAP for not taking up the regularization issue and against the NDA government at the Centre for not intervening and providing help in the form of funds," Mewati said.

On April 15, sanitation workers will gherao Kejriwal's residence and on April 24 they will protest at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's residence. "Every political party has ditched us and used our votes. The strike will continue in both north and south Delhi," Mewati said.

Not only sanitation workers, but doctors, nurses and teachers are also planning to go on strike as their salaries haven't been paid since January. "If protesting on the street and going on strike is the only way to get them to pay us, we have no choice but to do that," said a member of the corporation schools' guest teacher association.

However, in east Delhi, garbage was removed from the roads and dumping sites and the strike called off. Sanitation workers worked on Thursday despite it being a public holiday as dhalaos and collection centre at Vivek Vihar had not been cleaned for close to four days. "Our workers cleaned all roads and dhalaos," said the East Corporation spokesperson.
