The Story in Brief
Around 4,400 Multi-Tasking Staff (MTS/DBC) in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi's health department will receive equal pay, with salaries rising by up to Rs 10,000 per month, Mayor Pravesh Wahi announced on Friday. The decision, described as an Independence Day gift, got final approval after administrative, financial and legal formalities were completed. The revised salary will be paid from next month.
Wahi said the move, taken with standing committee chairperson Satya Sharma and commissioner Sanjeev Khirwar, had been pending for long and aims to ensure pay commensurate with duties. It will boost employee morale and benefit their families.
The Indian Opinion
The MCD's equal pay decision is welcome, but it comes after long delays typical of municipal governance. While the mayor calls it an Independence Day gift, one must ask whether this is genuine reform or a pre-election sop. The corporation's finances remain strained; sustaining these hikes without cutting other services will be the real test.
