Delhi CM hands 187 MCD appointment letters, launches screening portal
The city of Delhi has a big group of workers called the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, or MCD, that takes care of things like schools and hospitals for the city.
On Saturday, the MCD held a special ceremony where the Chief Minister of Delhi, Rekha Gupta, gave appointment letters to 187 new workers.
Some of these new workers are special educators who help children with different learning needs.
Getting an appointment letter means they now officially have a job, which brings hope and security to their families.
The Chief Minister also started a new online health portal called the Medical Screening Portal.
This portal will help doctors check the health of children who study in MCD schools.
She said the government wants to make the MCD stronger with new technology, buildings, and more workers.
The Mayor of Delhi, Pravesh Wahi, said that many of the new jobs went to women, which is good for women's empowerment.
He also said more jobs are coming soon for people in Delhi.
The new workers were told to do their jobs with honesty and care for the people of Delhi.
