Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has promised to increase the salary of anganwadi workers in next seven days. He met a group of these workers at his residence on Saturday and promised them to hike salaries after listening to their grievances.
Speaking on the attacks on several Aanganwadi centres and workers in the past few days, Kejriwal assured of all possible help.
"Security of all of you is our responsibility. I will talk to the lieutenant Governor, Anil Baijal and will also meet him to apprise of the situation. I will ask him to direct the Delhi Police to do the needful," said the Chief Minister.
The workers had complained of attack and threats to them from a union which is protesting. They said, that the protesting union was "upset" with them as they were working, while the union wants them to "stop" their work.
The workers also demanded for a salary hike to which the chief minister replied in affirmative. "Wait for a week or so, you are going to get a salary hike and that too a handsome percentage hike. We are here for you and will take care of everything," he said.
