BHUBANESWAR: Members of the Odisha
Yashoda Sangha (OYS) staged rally in front of the State Assembly here on Monday
demanding regularisation of job and hike in salary.
According to OYS general secretary
Mamata Biswal, 156 Yashoda workers had been appointed by the Union Health
Ministry’s National Health Rural Mission in 15 districts of Odisha in 2008. Now
they are getting Rs 3,000 as monthly stipend which is much lower than minimum wages,
she added.
The workers led by the Bharatiya
Mazdoor Sangha came in a procession from the Master Canteen square to the Lower
PMG protesting Government apathy. They also demanded Rs 10,000 as monthly
salary, pension, NM training and appointment of more Yashodas in the rest 15
districts of the State.
Later a five-member delegation
submitted memorandum to the Governor and submitted five-point charter of demands
after a discussion.
