The Jammu Kashmir Anganwadi Workers and Helpers Association staged protest here on Wednesday, demanding honorarium on monthly basis.
Scores of Anganwadi workers and helpers, under the banner of Anganwadi Workers and Helpers Association Kashmir, assembled at Press Colony demanding regularization of the workers and helpers.
“We are demanding maximum honorarium of Rs. 21,000 per month on humanitarian grounds until the government of Jammu and Kashmir will take a decision to regularize Anganwadi workers and helpers. We have worked hard for the Jammu and Kashmir but it is unfortunate that we are being neglected by the government now”, the protesters said.
“We appeal the Lieutenant Governor, Manoj Sinha to look into the matter and address the demands promptly”, they added.
