New Delhi: In a major boost to the Municipal Corporation of Delhi’s (MCD) sanitation workforce, Delhi Mayor Sardar Raja Iqbal Singh today handed over regularisation letters to 336 Safai Karamcharis during a formal ceremony at the MCD Headquarters, Dr. SPM Civic Centre.

Their relentless service keeps our city clean and habitable. The BJP-led MCD remains committed to their welfare, job security, and dignity.”
Of the 336 regularised Safai Karamcharis,
- 172 were daily wage workers,
- 28 were appointed on compassionate grounds,
- 136 were previously left out from regularisation.
