Almost a fortnight after they began a sit-in outside the residence of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, mayors and councilors of three Bharatiya Janata Party-ruled municipal corporations in city ended their protest on Saturday, 19 December, following a Delhi High Court order, reported Hindustan Times.
The protest was held over allegations of the Aam Aadmi Party government’s alleged failure to pay around Rs 13,000 crore, that were due to the MCDs.
The Delhi police had asked the protesters to vacate the venue, after the high court said that the presence of picketers outside the chief minister’s house was giving an “incorrect signal” about prohibitory orders not being followed.
