The South Delhi Municipal Corporation has decided to regularise its sanitation workers, and re-employ temporaray teachers in its schools.
The move comes days after the sanitation workers had threatened to go on a city-wide strike from October 20.
The South Delhi Municipal Corporation has passed a resolution to regularise its safai karmcharis.
The South Corporation Mayor Shyam Sharma said safai karmcharis will be regularised on the basis of their seniority and serial number. "The process will be completed in a transparent manner."
Last week, municipal sanitation workers have threatened to go an indefinite strike from October 20 seeking regularisation of the contractual employees.
They had met Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung demanding wages as per the 7th pay commission, arrears and cashless health cards.
In another move, the South Delhi Municipal Corporation has also decided to re-employ temporary teachers who were disengaged a few months ago. "Those who had been working on assignments from 2011 to 2014 will be engaged again to teach in the South Corporation schools."
The mayor said that these teachers will be employed on the posts vacated by the 140 teachers, who have been promoted to the post of principals.
The mayor has asked the education department to take "immediate action in this regard so that no post remains vacant". "The vacant posts adversly affect the learning and development of the students."
"The SDMC has been striving hard to improve the level and quality of education. Hence, it becomes essential to fill the vacant posts at the earliest."
