Civil defence volunteers not paid salaries for several months: Delhi minister Atishi raps officials

“It has come to my attention that despite their service in various government departments, civil defence volunteers have not received their salaries for the past several months. This situation is alarming and should be addressed immediately,” said Atishi.

The minister further stated that during the Covid pandemic, the role played by civil defence volunteers was extraordinary. At that time, she said, they assisted millions of Delhi residents and supported the government by mobilising people and delivering relief services to those in need.

She mentioned that recently when Delhi faced floods, their role was of utmost importance. These volunteers worked diligently in every relief camp, delivering relief supplies to flood-affected individuals and organising facilities for them, she said.

“The principal Secretary (Revenue) should immediately take notice and coordinate with the finance department to release salaries of all civil defence volunteers within seven days,” added the minister.
