Additionally, the agency has been instructed to begin depositing Provident Fund (PF) and Employees' State Insurance (ESI) contributions within the next 10 days.

Chief medical superintendent Dr Neelam Singh confirmed that the wages have been paid, the strike has been called off and all sanitation workers have returned to duty. The administration has ordered the contracting agency to resolve all remaining PF and ESI-related issues....
