SDMC slams its workers for protesting, terms it illegal

The South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC), on Saturday, claimed that certain sections of Safai karamcharis of the corporation have stopped working without having any valid reason.

The Corporation said that this unilateral action on the part of these employees is uncalled for, untenable and illegal. The Corporation also said that these employees of SDMC are well aware of the fact that timely salaries are being paid to them apart from the various welfare measures being taken for them.

In a statement the SDMC said: “Since providing sanitation services is one of the obligatory function of SDMC, this dereliction of duties by the SKs (safai karmacharis) is causing inconvenience to the residents and it cannot be viewed with equanimity.” 

The Corporation also said: “Such employees are therefore advised that they should report for duties immediately failing which the concerned authority will have to resort to stern action as per the relevant provisions of law, regulations and rules applicable to the employees of SDMC.”
