"Our protests are against the termination of anganwadi workers. We have been staging protests at different locations every other day, including the Lieutenant Governor's residence and Prime Minister's Office, seeking answers as to why our workers have been terminated in this manner," DSAWHU member Vrishali Shruti said.

She said anganwadi workers have not received any concrete resolution from the Delhi government yet.

"Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's secretary had told us that our demands will be met soon but nothing was done. We haven't received any concrete resolution from the government yet," she said.
