The District Collectors across Andhra Pradesh on January 2 (Tuesday) appealed to the protesting Anganwadi workers and helpers to resume their duties immediately, with a warning that departmental action would be taken against those who failed to join duties by January 5.
The Collectors served notices in this regard to the Anganwadi staff whose strike entered 22nd day on January 2 (Tuesday).
The notices pointed out that the government had accepted the demand related to age relaxation of Anganwadi helpers for their promotion as workers, provision of TA and DA, enhanced upper age limits for both workers and helpers and increasing the retirement benefits by ₹1 lakh and ₹40,000 for the workers and helpers respectively.
