"It is very shameful that the AAP government of Delhi has not given salaries to the Anganwadi workers for the last seven months. Asha workers are working on a salary of Rs 3,000, and their stipend has not been increased. Their stipend must be increased after every three years. The law mandates it. This AAP government is not paying attention to what they have been saying. I met with Delhi LG regarding this, and I am happy that he has assured me that he will give instructions to Delhi CM regarding this issue..." said the BJP MP.
Meanwhile, the Delhi Lieutenant Governor advised the AAP government to increase the stipend paid to ASHA workers in Delhi from the existing Rs 3,000 per month to Rs 9,000, noting that their last stipend increase was in 2018, even though revisions were supposed to occur every three years, according to a press release from the LG's office.
He has also requested the immediate release of salaries for Anganwadi supervisors, the release added.
