Building a Wider
Horizon With Labour
Women workers of various government schemes, including the mid-day-meal, Asha and Anganwadi programmes, organised a massive rally in Srikakulam seeking minimum wages and other benefits. They raised slogans against the government for removing many workers from jobs. The rally was taken out from 7-Road junction to the Collector's office. Over 5,000 workers participated in the rally and raised slogans against the government for not paying even honorarium to the workers in many places although they were working for more than 10 hours a day. They sought minimum wages of Rs.18,000 per month.
