[h=1]Garbage to school admissions: Civic workers strike affecting Delhiites[/h]Garbage strewn streets were back to haunt the city residents on Wednesday as the strike by municipal workers entered day two.
The workers littered the streets with garbage in many parts of the city, including Duragapuri Chowk, Mayur Vihar, Karol Bagh, Madangeer and Saket. However, areas in south and north Delhi were relatively less affected by the strike than in east Delhi.
“All the sanitation workers are on strike. We are not collecting any garbage but we are also not spilling garbage on the roads,” said Rajendra Mewati, general secretary of United Front of MCD Employees.
The worst affected, however, were the school students who were either sent back home from their schools or refused to be taught by their teachers. The municipal teachers, among the rest of the employees, have completely boycotted teaching. While most of the teachers stayed away from schools, those present in school led a pen-down strike. ‘No money, no work’ was also seen written at some of the municipal schools.
