They stage protest at the Gandhi statue
A dharna was organised by ASHA workers, on the banner of AP ASHA Workers Union, affiliated to the CITU, at the Gandhi statue near the GVMC on Wednesday. Union honorary president P. Mani alleged that the State government was neglecting the welfare of ASHA workers, who have rendered invaluable services. The Central and the State governments were paying a meagre ₹10,000 a month as honorarium to them. They were not even being extended the benefit of various welfare schemes.More Related News
