SHILLONG, JAN 14: The strike by over 7,000 ASHA workers in protest against delayed incentives continues, with Health Minister Wailadmiki Shylla assuring action.
“There was a slight issue because the money is coming from the Centre. We are pushing for the amount to be released as soon as possible,” Shylla told reporters on Wednesday.
The minister had previously discussed the issue with the MD NHM, who has assured the workers of an update. “It has not come to my knowledge that they will be continuing with their strike, but we are pushing for the release of the amount,” Shylla added.
The ASHA workers have been on strike for the past seven days, demanding the release of their pending incentives.
