Staff Reporter

South MCD’s horticulture department employees have gone on strike in protest of alleged manhandling of its senior officials by Deputy Chairman of Najafgarh Zone and BJP councilor Suman Dagar.

SP Singh, additional director of horticulture department in Najafgarh zone on Thursday filed a complaint against Suman Dagar, alleging that he was beaten up by the councillor’s goons after he refused to follow her order.

However, Dagar denied the allegations and said that she had merely asked the official to follow the rules before transferring the staffs.

“The allegation is false and the truth will come out after investigation. There is CCTV cameras installed in the building the footage should also be checked to know the truth. I had only asked the official that why 16 staffs were transferred. He even canceled the transfer order, fearing the matter may be raised in the house. There are several parks in this locality and we need staffs to take care of these,” she said.
