New Delhi: The Municipal Corporation of
Delhi on Monday said it will regularise all its substitute
sanitation workers "in due process of time".
Chairman of MCD Standing Committee Yogendra Chandolia
said all substitute 'safai karamcharies' will first be made
daily wagers and thereafter recruited as regular workers.
"It will be ensured that all substitute safai
karamcharies are made regular in due process of time. Those
substitute safai karamcharies, who are working since 1996,
will be included in recruitment process for regular safai
karamcharies as per requirement of posts," he said.
Chandolia said that some workers' unions are misguiding
people by saying that the substitute sanitation staff working
since 1996 will be taken on contract. "There is no such
proposal," he said.
However, he stressed that the MCD will safeguard the
interests of substitute safai karamcharies and it will be
ensured that they are given due preference during the
recruitment process.
The Chairman of the Standing Committee said while
deploying safai karamcharies in unauthorised colonies and new
localities, it will be ensured that substitute employees get
work as daily wager on regular basis and be regularised later
as per the rules.
