Demanding the fulfilment of their demands, anganwari workers under the banner of the Anganwari Mulazim Union (CITU), Punjab, staged a dharna in front of the District Administrative Complex (DAC) here on Monday.

The union presented a memorandum to officials of the Social Security Women and Child Department. Anoop Kaur, district president of the union, led the protesting workers. Beant Kaur Dhotian, general secretary, Narinder Kaur and Veer Kaur were among others who addressed the gathering on the occasion.

The leaders laid stress on shifting children of three years from elementary schools to anganwari centres and ensuring that they are provided nutritious food according to the set norms of the government. They said anganwari centres were finding it difficult to provide the students nutrition as they were sitting in other schools.

They said the government was increasing their workload, but was not giving them adequate money to use data on their mobile phones for fast networking. They demanded laptops and computers for workers as the government was increasing their workload day by day.

As District Program Officer Rahul Arora assured the protesting workers of considering their demands, the union lifted the dharna.
