Ampi/Kanchanpur, July 25: Anganwadi Centre (AWC) workers under Ampi Nagar RD block organized two rallies at Ampi Nagar and Kanchanpur in the North district on Monday.
After the rally, they met the concerned CDPOs over a deputation and placed the demands. The Officer-in-charge Swapan Chakraborty received the demand list from the AWC workers at Ampi while the CDPO of Dasda in Kanchanpur received the demand list.
The workers of 171 centres in Ampi raised their voices and organized the rally demanding regularization of jobs equal salary after regularization, provision of gratuity at the time of retirement, pension and an increase in the retirement age to 65 years.
Besides, the AWC workers of Ampi alleged that they were not getting bills for feeding the children for the last four months. The shopkeepers are denying them to supply required articles on credit anymore. Moreover, with the hike in prices of essential goods, whatever amount the government is paying to the AWCs is insufficient to meet the requirement. All these taken together, the AWCs are facing a tough situation in functioning and the workers demanded immediate intervention from the concerned authority.
