Manjit Kaur Booh of the Mid-day Meal Workers Union and Ranjit Kaur, leader of the ‘Talmel Committee’, in their respective speeches, said that they have been working at a meagre salary of Rs 3,000 for long which is not sufficient to make both ends meet. The leaders demanded Rs 12,000 as their monthly remuneration and life insurance of Rs 5 lakh to be given by the state government. The leaders expressed their opposition to extra workload except for their own task of preparing meals.
