Anganwadi workers would refrain from their duty from January 1 net as a mark of protest against delay in salary hike if the State Government fails to fulfil their demands within the timeframe. It was decided here on Tuesday by the core committee of the All Odisha Anganwadi ladies Workers’ Association led by its general secretary Anjali Patel.
Patel said they would stop five main works relating to Mamata Yojana, cooking food for children, egg distribution, Gaon Kalyan Samiti, Sabala programme and Self-Help Group works. Even, they would not prepare any report of their work, she said.
She said all the Anganwadi Centre (AWC) workers would wear black badges between January 1 and January 15 protesting the Government’s apathy. They would give copies of a memorandum to all MlAs and Ministers to look into their issues. All AWC workers would send postcards to the Governor and the Chief Minister demanding hike in their salary, she added.
