Over 500 Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) workers from the D ward have complained that they have not received salaries for the past few months, while others said they have received irregular salaries. This comes just months after the civic body introduced the biometric attendance system. The D ward includes areas like Malabar Hill and Tardeo.

The workers had gone to Sangli and Kolhapur to carry out relief work. Despite repeated complaints, their issue has not yet been resolved. BMC commissioner Praveen Pardeshi had declared an additional month’s salary for the staff – who carried out relief measures – which they have received.
