Around 15,000 sanitation workers called off their 12-day-long strike, averting a looming health crisis hours after Lt Governor Najeeb Jung announced to
release Rs 493 crore for their salaries even as Rahul Gandhi accused both Centre and AAP government of passing the buck on each other. The municipal corporations said all the striking sanitation workers have returned to work and heaps of garbage across East Delhi and in some other parts of the city are being removed on an emergency basis.
