Thousands of pregnant and lactating women and children (aged below six years) received Take-Home Ration (THR) nutrition kits at the Anganwadi centres across the State on Friday.
With the Anganwadi workers and helpers on strike for the last few days demanding a hike in salaries and other problems, the Collectors, Women Development and Child Welfare (WD&CW) Department, Project Directors, Mandal Parishad Development Officers (MPDOs) and other officers made arrangements for distribution of ration to the beneficiaries.
Grama and Ward Sachivalayam employees and the Self-Help Group (SHG) women were entrusted to distribute ration to the beneficiaries in the centres.
