As the sanitation workers in the Municipal Corporation of Dehradun (MCD) have not received their salary for a month so far, municipal commissioner Vinay Shankar Pandey issued an order on Wednesday stating that no officials in the MCD will receive any salary till the sanitation workers get paid.
There are nearly 600 sanitation workers in the MCD apart from about 2000 workers in various divisions of the corporation. Pandey said, “The salary of the sanitation workers is due for nearly a month now.
I have ordered that salary will not be released for any of the employees of the MCD until the sanitation workers are paid their due salary. No one including myself will be receiving salary till then.”
The sanitation workers had met the officials many times regarding their pending salary. Their union was to hold a protest in MCD on Wednesday, but after Pandey’s order they decided to wait for their salary. “The salary of these workers was stuck in the accounts department however I believe that the matter will be cleared soon,” Pandey added.
