Delhi: Hailed for pandemic service, dues bring them on road

Civil Defence volunteers in Delhi, who were praised for distributing ration during the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic, are now protesting for their unpaid salaries. Many volunteers have been working as bus marshals to ensure passenger safety, but the non-payment of their salaries for five months has led to demonstrations. Government officials argue against their appointment as bus marshals, stating that CCTV cameras on buses make them unnecessary. However, ministers argue that human presence is crucial for preventing crimes, and the marshals are necessary for the safety of women in public buses.
