Delhi's terminated anganwadi workers still seek reinstatement
In Delhi, 750 out of 884 terminated anganwadi workers have been reinstated after a three-year legal battle following their dismissal for protesting better pay. However, 134 workers, including Pushpa Mitra, remain without jobs and continue to seek reinstatement. The Delhi government increased pay for anganwadi workers after the protests, but many still earn below the minimum wage. The workers argue that their terminations were unjust and linked to their vocal participation in the protests. With a new government in place, the workers hope for a favorable outcome in their ongoing court case. They continue to advocate for their rights and maintain community connections, despite the challenges they face.
