New Delhi: As the strike by municipal corporation employees completed a week on Tuesday, thousands of agitators took out a protest march from the Civic Centre to Rajghat in New Delhi carrying begging bowls in their hands to draw attention to their demands.

The protest march by the municipal workers threw traffic out of gear on outer Ring Road, ITO and other main roads. Protests by sanitation workers in different parts of East Delhi and North Delhi also created chaos on the roads as garbage was dumped by scores of protestors even as sanitation, education and health services provided by the civic bodies continued to suffer.
