New Delhi, Oct 14 (PTI) A nine-member committee, headed by Mayor Raja Iqbal Singh, will look into the demands of striking Multi-Tasking Staff (MTS) employees, including domestic breeding checkers, in Delhi.

The committee, will include representatives from the ruling and opposition parties as well as MTS employee representatives, Singh said in the house.
