Anganwadi workers and helpers from the other districts too participated and supported the protest.

District president of the association, Vishalakshi said as state wide protest was staged demanding the release of the deduced honorary amount, in all the districts the anganwadi workers and helpers have received the amount. In Dakshina Kannada district, although memorandums had been continuously sent since the past one and a half years, there was no response from the concerned, she complained.

Although MLA JR Lobo had directed the concerned authorities to reimburse the deduced honorary amount, while a memorandum was submitted to the Department’s Chief Secretary and Director through MLA JR Lobo, yet no actions have been taken in this regard, she alleged.
