Anganwadi workers, who have been agitating for the past 19 days against the State government’s inaction, said that they will continue their strike and refused to resume duties as per Collectors’ request. Collectors of many districts held talks with the protesting workers, urging them to call off the strike.
The Anganwadi workers and helpers are demanding increase in their salaries, scrapping the Apps, enhancement of retirement benefits, clearance of pending bills, and provision of TA and DA, among other demands.
Discussions held between the government and the Anganwadi Workers and Helpers Union, A.P. Pragathiseela Anganwadi Workers and Helpers Union and other associations were in vain, as the protesters remained resolute in their demand for a salary hike.
