The Delhi Assembly was adjourned on Friday after AAP MLAs trooped down to the well of the House raising slogans against the BJP for allegedly opposing the regularisation of Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) workers.

After the House resumed post lunch, there was a short-duration discussion under rule 55 of the Delhi Assembly on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) allegedly obstructing the regularisation of the workers of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD).  Earlier, BJP MLAs were marshalled out of the Delhi Assembly on Friday, after they alleged that 203 homeless people have died in the city during the winter season so far and demanded that Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal speak on the issue in the House.  Later, BJP MLAs protested at the premises of the Assembly, raising slogans against the Kejriwal.

Speaking in the House, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA and MCD in-charge Durgesh Pathak said, "What the BJP could not do when it was in power in the MCD for 15 years was accomplished by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in just six months."

Pathak highlighted the achievements of the AAP-led MCD, including regularisation of the civic body's workers and disbursal of salaries on the first day of the month.

"The MCD workers used to earlier protest at the Civic Centre, Jantar Mantar, Mayor House. They did not get their salaries for eight months. It was in August, within six months of the AAP coming to power, that the workers got their salaries on time. This happened after 13 years," he said while alleging that the BJP is opposed to MCD workers' regularisation and has even approached the court over the issue.

Earlier, responding to a query by an MLA about the number of trees planted and the decrease in pollution levels in the last five years, Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai said the national capital has the largest green belt at 23.6 per cent among big metro cities, and asserted that pollution levels in the city have reduced since 2014 through sustained efforts. On the issue of pollution, Rai shared the data on PM10 and PM2.5 levels, saying on average there has been a 31 per cent reduction in pollution levels since the formation of the AAP government.

Consequent to recent Parliament breach, the Delhi Assembly was placed under a heavy layer of security on Friday with curbs on movement and a thorough checking of vehicles and passes.

 The passes were issued after proper authorisation and verification through the Directorate of Information and Publicity.

 "Adequate number of Delhi Police and para military personnel were deployed. They were monitoring movement of people and vehicles outside the Vidhan Sabha.
