The Indore Municipal Corporation has approved a proposal to regularise employees who have completed ten years of service as mastarkarmi, entitling them to salary increments and additional benefits.
Indore’s municipal authorities have finally responded to long‑standing demands from mastarkarmi—workers employed in the city’s sanitation and maintenance crews—by approving a regularisation scheme on the occasion of Diwali. The decision follows years of petitions by the staff, who argued that formal recognition would secure their livelihood and improve working conditions.
Under the approved plan, all mastarkarmi who have completed ten years of continuous service will be converted to regular employees of the Indore Municipal Corporation. The regularisation includes a structured salary increase, eligibility for pension and other statutory benefits, as well as access to health and welfare schemes previously unavailable to contract workers.
Municipal officials indicated that the move is expected to boost morale among the workforce and enhance the efficiency of city services. By integrating these veteran workers into the regular payroll, the corporation aims to reduce turnover and ensure a more stable and motivated sanitation workforce for the city’s residents.
