Anganwari workers staged a demonstration and blocked the Mandibridge for over an hour on Monday.
A large number of Anganwari workers drawn from several areas of Mandi tehsil participated in the protest. “We are protesting against the delay in release of our pending salary since the past ten months. Besides, we do not see any headway in the regularization process,” they said, adding that their pending wages should be released at an earliest and the government should clear its stand on the regularization process, besides hike in wages.
The protest continued for over an hour, due to which Mandibridge remained closed for traffic. Later, tehsildar, Mandi, ZaheerRana, and station house officer, Anil Sharma, visited the site and pacified the protesters, assuring them that that their demands will be projected before the concerned authorities for redressal.
After hearing the assurance, the protest was called off.
