Anganwadi workers hold protest

Parigi: CITU and anganwadi workers organised a protest by burning copies of GO No.8 near the ICDS project office here.

Addressing the gathering, the anganwadi workers leaders said, "It is a good news to increase the number of leave days from 90 to 180 but it is not acceptable that the payment for 180 days will not be given and also handing over anganwadi centers to IKP office is not fair."

Furthermore, they added, "The protest is conducted all over the State near the ICDS project offices and if the GO is not cancelled, a 'Chalo Assembly' programme will be organised by anganwadi workers on August 19."
