Planning to visit the municipal office any time soon for a birth certificate, trade, or health licence, or to get a building plan sanctioned? You will most likely be disappointed, as over 1.5 lakh employees of the three MCDs have decided to go on strike over non-payment of salaries. This may lead to an unprecedented breakdown of civic services in the Capital as employees, including those from sanitation, health, education, engineering and other departments, have threatened to strike from February if their salaries are not paid immediately.
