CM Atishi’s big announcement, 10 thousand bus marshals will get employment again in Delhi

New delhi,9 Nov 2024

Delhi Chief Minister Atishi made a big announcement for bus marshals on Saturday. She said that 10 thousand marshals will get employment again in Delhi. The Delhi government has passed a proposal to reinstate civil defense volunteers. Civil defense volunteers will get work from Monday.

CM Atishi said that I assure the bus marshals that in the coming few days, we will send a proposal for permanent appointment of bus marshals to LG VK Saxena. Till the time they get permanent appointment, bus marshals are being included in the campaign against pollution till the month of February.

He said that call out notices will be issued to bus marshals from Monday and they can register themselves at the DM office from Tuesday. In 2018, Arvind Kejriwal’s government appointed marshals in DTC buses so that women are not harassed and children and the elderly can also travel safely. But in April 2023, the BJP conspired and stopped the salaries of 10 thousand bus marshals and then fired them from their jobs in October 2023.

Let us tell you that in September, the Delhi Assembly passed a resolution to restore the jobs of bus marshals. On the first day of the session, there was a heated debate between the Aam Aadmi Party and the BJP over the removal of about 10,000 bus marshals employed as bus marshals in DTC and cluster buses. Despite the uproar, both sides eventually supported the proposal to restore jobs. Delhi Health Minister Saurabh Bhardwaj had announced a full-scale effort to restore 10,000 bus marshals.
