On 19 June Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Employees Union (DMRCEU) started strike, they wore black band on their hand while working at their assigned place. And on 24 June thousands of employees gather near ITO metro station and decided to sit at the platforms of metro stations, depots, work places, and boycott Rest room, and their lunch time. This was the same day when Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) was celebrating the inauguration of Mundka-Bahadurgarh corridor. And employees of DMRC were on strike, this ongoing strike issue is not a new issue. Their demands are as follow:-
  • To recognize DMRC Employees Union by the DMRC management.

  • To implement memorandum of undertaking signed between Management and staff council in letter and spirit.

  • To implement Schedule-A PSU pay scale and allowances for non-executive employees in line with executive employees.

  • To restate all terminated employees alleging fake charges under autocratic policies of the management  further  to take appropriate action against the official responsible for a huge loss of INR 4000 crore to DMRC due to irregularities in Delhi  Metro Airport express line project.


DMRC employees union further says that at every time DMRC tells that there is a budget problem but the major question arises that who is responsible for loss of INR 4000 crore? why employees has to pay for this, which was due to irregularities by the Delhi Metro management. Before starting the strike DMRCEU has already submitted 15 day notice to Delhi Metro Management which is going to end by 29th June.
