Anganwadi workers leave Azad Maidan in disappointment
The HinduAnganwadi workers who thronged Mumbai’s Azad Maidan on Wednesday, had to wind up their protest today at 7.45pm after their meetings with ministers didn’t turn out fruitful. Later in the day, Anup Kumar Yadav, Principal Secretary of Women and Child Development agreed to have a meeting with the anganwadi workers representatives for 30 minutes, without any solution. During the meeting with the CM on Wednesday night, the anganwadi workers representatives raised their concerns over anganwadis not being treated equally as government employees, demands of gratuity, increase in remuneration, monthly pension, mobile phones, increase in the rent of anganwadis and increase in the price of food per child. He even rejected to increase food cost per child saying it is a central government’s scheme,” informed Ms. Shamim.
