New Delhi, Oct 13 (IANS) The Delhi High Court on Friday issued notice to the Centre, Delhi government, and East Delhi Municipal Corporation (EDMC) on a plea for direction to corporation sanitation workers to end their protest strike and resume work.
The plea by Rahul Birla also sought directions for immediate payment of salary arrears to the workers who went on an indefinite strike on October 11.
The petitioner also urged the court to direct the authorities to immediately implement the 4th Finance Commission recommendations.
