The midday meal workers have said they would intensify their protests if the State government delayed fulfilling the demand of increasing the pay by ₹1,000 per month.
Hanumamma, district president of the Midday Meal Workers’ Association, affiliated with the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU), in Shivamogga on Thursday, said the midday meal workers began an indefinite dharna in Bengaluru on October 30. Initially, there was no response from the government. The officer met the protesters and took the memorandum. However, later, the Minister responded and took time.
