Srinagar, Sep 21: M Y Tarigami, president CITU J&K State Committee on Thursday urged the administration to listen to the woes of ASHA workers who are performing a range of assignments and are allegedly denied their due wages and legitimate rights.
Addressing a press conference here, Tarigami said, “They (ASHA workers) have been protesting in all the districts of the region for around one month demanding implementation of the recommendations of the 45th and 46th Indian labour conference on scheme workers held in the year 2013-14 and regularization as workers, bringing them under the ambit of Minimum Wages Act.”
They must be provided with all social security benefits including pension, he said. He urged the administration to talk to their union representatives and find amicable solutions to their genuine concerns without any further delay.
