The lives of 884 Anganwadi workers in Delhi turned upside down after they were abruptly terminated for staging over a month-long strike demanding a raise in honorarium and respectable working hours.
These workers comprising several single mothers were issued termination notice on March 14 against their 39-day demonstration.
They have claimed that despite serving the public relentlessly during the pandemic-induced-lockdown they have not received their salary since January and are somehow running their households by borrowing money.
