NEW DELHI: Hundreds of Anganwadi workers staged a protest near Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence at the Civil Lines in the national capital on Monday to press for their demands, including recognition as government employees.
The protest was organised under the aegis of Delhi State Anganwadi Workers and Helpers Union.
The protesters shouted anti-government slogans and displayed placards demanding the roll back of the New Education Policy. They also demanded that government employee status should be given to them.
They were stopped by the police a few metres away from the CM residence following which they sat on a dharna and continued their protest.
The protesters held placards that read "Inqilab Zindabad" and "Karmachari Ka Darza Hamara Adhikar".
