But the Union Minister did not accept his memorandum and left the car and went on a bike. Sonam Priya, a protesting health worker, said that she had brought a demand letter and wanted to give the demand letter to the minister, but the minister did not want to listen to her. When we tried to talk to him, he left his car and went on his bike.
He asked if those people were not his people. Are they not our representatives? When elections come, they come to ask for votes and talk about serving, but today when they came with their demands, they left on a bike.
Work boycott from 22nd July
It may be noted that since last July 22, dozens of ANMs are on work boycott under the banner of Bihar Medical Health Workers Union. Chief among their 12-point demands is equal pay for equal work, but the workers alleged that the district administration and the government are not heeding their demands.
Health workers say that some health workers are paid up to Rs 1 lakh for a single job, but they are paid only ten-fifteen thousand rupees. They are demanding justice and equal pay.
