An appeal has been made to the Government to release the pending honorarium of Anganwadi workers and helpers.
The above appeal was made by an Anganwadi worker, Ph Prabha while speaking to media persons at the sidelines of the closing function of 'Poshan Pakhwada' of Thongju Sector held at Pheijaleitong Community hall today.
It may be noted that a series of programmes was conducted at various Anganwadi centres in the Thongju sector in connection with 'Poshan Pakhwada' since March 21 .
Elaborating on the duties taken up by Anganwadi workers and helpers apart from their regular duties, Ph Prabha said that they were actively involved in the recently held State Assembly election and Pulse Polio Immunization (PPI) programme.
Stating that many extra responsibilities have been rendered upon them, she expressed discontent that no proper remuneration have been provided for such tasks.
Further she urged the Government to release the pending honorarium of Anganwadi workers and helpers at the earliest considering the difficulties faced by them.
