The non-executive staff of the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) have threatened a shutdown on Monday if their demands on pay parity are not met.
They also demanded that action was taken against some protesting employees be reversed.
The DMRC has denied reports of the protests impacting train operations, Anil Kumar Mahato, the secretary of the staff council, said protesting non-executive staff of the DMRC have started sit-ins at different stations, including Dwarka, Yamuna Bank, Badarpur, Shahdara, Qutub Minar and Vishwavidyalaya.
Explaining the reason behind their protest, staff members said they were promised that their pay scales would be increased back in 2015. “Now, more than two years later, the salary has seen no change.
We were Scheduled Caste employees then and we are still getting the same pay,” added Mahato, who represents about 3,000 permanent non-executive (operations) staff, including train operators, line staff and station staff.
