April-June salaries to safai karamcharis paid: MCDs to HC

The submission was made by the corporations before a bench of Chief Justice G Rohini and Justice Sangita Dhingra Sehgal which was hearing three PILs seeking payment of salaries to safai karamchaaris employed with the MCDs.

Meanwhile, Delhi government counsel Rahul Mehra told the Bench that a proposal has been placed before the AAP government’s cabinet with regard to disbursement of municipal reform fund (MRF) even to those corporations which have not performed well.

Currently, MRF is disbursed to those MCDs which perform well and this year, it was given to south MCD only and not to the other two corporations.

Mehra said the new policy would be a “deviation from earlier pattern”. In view of the submissions, the court disposed of the PILs and said it would later pass common orders on all of them.
