In a series of tweets, Mr Kejriwal also extended support to striking MCD workers demanding dues and hoped that "some solution" will emerge after the Delhi High Court hears the matter next week.
"I support demand of protesting MCD employees that they shud get their full salaries. I hope some solution will emerge after Tue HC hearing," Mr Kejriwal, currently in Bangalore for naturopathy treatment, said on Twitter.
The Chief Minister lauded PWD for working round the clock to clear garbage and urged AAP functionaries to help the cleaning drive.
"I am told PWD people and trucks worked whole nite to clean up garbage. I wud urge all AAP volunteers to help PWD," he said on the micro-blogging site, urging the PWD to 'keep it up'.
The Government had yesterday deployed hundreds of PWD workers to lift garbage from across the city as nearly 60,000 civic sanitation workers continued their indefinite strike demanding payment of dues amid a blame game over the issue between AAP and BJP, which rules the three municipalities.
The sanitation workers went on strike on January 27, demanding timely salaries and payment of arrears.
