However, the employees refused to call off their strike and said the funds were not a permanent solution to the financial crisis.

The mayors of North and East Delhi municipal corporations had said they would accept Rs.551 crore as a "grant" as the Delhi government was to pay Rs.3,000 crore to the local bodies as per the 3rd Delhi Finance Commission report.
