As a dengue scare grips Delhi ahead of the Commonwealth Games next month, about 3,200 sanitary inspectors whose job is to check mosquito breeding in homes called off their strike Thursday after they were assured that their demands for job regularisation would be looked into.
"The Lt-governor's office and Municipal Commissioner K.S. Mehra assured us that they would look into our demand. So, we called off our strike and resumed duties," Ashok Chaudhary, who heads the domestic breeder checkers, said.
The domestic breeder checkers, as these inspectors are called, began their strike September 6.
The Municipal Corporation of Delhi on Wednesday warned the checkers that their services would be terminated if they did not return to work on Thursday.
