More than eight branches shut, an unrelenting protest by 75 employees over lack of salaries, a funds crunch, and at the centre of it all, one of Delhi’s oldest municipal libraries and a BJP leader mired in allegations of corruption and mismanagement.
With a sit-in outside the Hardayal Municipal Library in Chandni Chowk, the employees have been demanding the resignation of Poonam Parashar Jha – the library’s secretary who was previously a BJP councillor and the party’s Delhi Mahila Morcha president.
