Scores of sanitation workers of the East Delhi Municipal Corporation (EDMC), who are demanding payment of their salaries, clearance of arrears and medical cashless card, protested outside the office of Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia as their strike entered its seventh day today.

"We dumped garbage in front of his office in the Madhi Vihar area and also burnt his effigy. The Delhi High Court has already ticked off the Delhi Government for not ensuring the payment of salaries for the sanitation workers. If authorities do not listen to our demands, we will intensify the stir," said Sanjay Gehlot, president of the MCD Swachhata Kramchari Union.

Garbage mounted in colonies in Patparganj, Kailash Nagar, Ajit Nagar, among other places, as the air filled with stench.

Prior to this, the EDMC sanitation workers had protested outside the residence of East Delhi Mayor Neema Bhagat in Geeta Colony and also burnt her effigy.

All three municipal corporations are led by the BJP.
