Kejriwal Ensures Timely Salaries and Bonuses for MCD Workers

Arvind Kejriwal announced timely payment of salaries and Diwali bonuses for 64,000 MCD sanitation workers, marking a departure from the previous BJP regime's delays. The Rs 23 crore bonus aims to provide financial relief and holiday cheer. Kejriwal cited improved efficiency and reduced corruption under the AAP's governance.

Arvind Kejriwal, the Aam Aadmi Party supremo, stated on Wednesday that all MCD sanitation staff have received their salaries and a Diwali bonus before the month's end for the first time.

In a press conference alongside Delhi Mayor Shelly Oberoi, Kejriwal highlighted that approximately 64,000 sanitation workers have benefited from the Rs 23 crore in bonuses and timely salaries.

Previously, under BJP rule, employees often faced salary delays, necessitating protests. Kejriwal claimed that the AAP government credited salaries on time, thus eliminating the need for demonstrations.
