The Rs 551 crore loan of Delhi government to the cash-strapped MCDd has come with a rider - “no fresh recruitment” of sanitation workers and “discontinuation” of temporary employees within a year, according to an order issued by the AAP dispensation.
“There will be no fresh recruitments particularly group IV employees viz., safai karamcharis, beldars and fresh regularisation. The safai karamcharis and beldars engaged on temporary basis willl be discontinued in a phased-manner within a year,” the order says.
The order was issued by the Urban Development Department of the city government on February 4. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had made an announcement offering the Rs 551-crore loan to two civic bodies on February 3.
The municipal corporations will reassess all their schemes and not increase the scope of the existing ones, the conditions say and “no new scheme to be launched without approval of government of Delhi.” “Increase revenue through improved property tax coverage, bring left-out properties under the property tax net, increase revenue from advertisement, parking, remunerative projects,” it adds.
