Shiela Dikshit speech cut short by protests

NEW DELHI: Chief Minister Shiela Dikshit today faced angry protests during a function organised by some employees of Delhi Transport Corporation.

As Dikshit started her speech at the function organised at DTC headquarters near ITO, some employees started raising anti-government slogans and did not allow her to speak.

They also shouted slogans in support of their demands, including for the regularisation of contractual employees.

"The Chief Minister did not keep her promise which she had made to us," said an employee.

Dikshit could not complete her address due to the protest.
