The All Manipur ASHA Workers Union has demanded payment of pending incentives before Ningol Chakkouba, warning of agitation if dues are not released.
The demand was raised at a sit-in held at Yaipha Thouni Shanglen, Keishampat.
Union president Th Pumimasi said Manipur's 4,105 ASHA workers receive only Rs 1,000 as State share and Rs 2,000 as Central incentive, totalling Rs 3,000 per month.
In other States, they get Rs 5,000 to Rs 9,000 .
She said the incentive, paid once in three months, was last received in January.
Dues from February remain unpaid, though ASHA workers serve patients daily.
She said no payment has been received for CMHT work since 2024.After the sit-in, workers tried to march to submit a memorandum to the Chief Minister, but police stopped them.
The memorandum was not submitted.
