Assam Anganwadi Workers Union Accuses Government of Deception, Vows to Intensify Protests

The Assam State Anganwadi Workers-Assistants’ Union alleges that the state government has deceived them under the guise of discussions, vowing to intensify their protests with increased vigor. In a statement, the union’s president Joymoti and general secretary Indira Newar expressed disappointment with the government’s response during a meeting where the minister declared there would be no increment in their remuneration. The union perceives this as a deceptive tactic and announced their intent to escalate protests until their demands are met. The workers have been staging continuous protests in Guwahati since February 26, highlighting their issues and demands to no avail.
