| Rana lambasts PDP-BJP for forcing Anganwari Workers, Helpers to take to streets | | |  Early Times Report
NAGROTA, May 24: National Conference Provincial President Devender Singh Rana today lambasted PDP-BJP Government for forcing Anganwadi Workers and Helpers to take to streets in support of their demands, which include release of salaries and hike in honorarium.
"Our hearts go out to the agitating Workers and Helpers, who are sitting on dharna in the current scorching spell of heat," Rana said while joining the sit-in protest at Nagrota as a mark of solidarity with the protesters. He said denial of timely wages to poor segment of workers is a gross human rights violation and its enormity becomes severe as they have been agitating for over three months now.
"It is shame to see our daughters and sisters sitting on roads for something that could have been avoided by acceding to their genuine demands", he said and expressed concern over the lackadaisical attitude of the coalition government towards the problems of Anganwari Workers and Helpers.
Rana also spoke to Minister for Social Welfare on phone and brought to his notice the plight of agitating workers and seeking redressal of their grievances. He said the government cannot abdicate its responsibilities and allow drift by not engaging with striking workers. The strike, he said, has not brought the agitating workers to traumatic situation but also results in smooth functioning of the Anganwadi Centres.
MLA Nagrota cautioned the government against testing patience of the striking workers and sought immediate end to the ongoing strike by engaging them in talks and taking appropriate action on their demands. Rana said the coalition government has a track record of ignoring poorer segments of employees and workers which has brought the State to piquant situations, be it regularization of daily rated workers, contractual and adhoc employees etc. |
