| Reluctant Anganwari workers refuse election duty | | | Early Times Report
BUDGAM, Nov 15: The Aangawari workers seem very much reluctant to render the duties related to the upcoming assembly elections which are round the corner as they haven't been paid for the election duties which they rendered during the assembly elections of 2008 and parliamentary elections, conducted very recently. The department has gone so much wayward that it has betrayed its own employees not to talk about the beneficiaries.
The Aanganwari workers say that they rendered the election duties in the 2008 and in the parliamentary elections conducted in the month of May of the current but without any compensation given to them. The officials waste no time in communicating the duty orders but when it comes to compensation they turn their blind eye. "In connection with the recently conducted parliamentary elections we were pressed very hard to report at the polling booths for rendering the election duties with a verbal commitment that we will be paid according to the norms as set by the election commission of India but till date nothing of this kind happened, " said Mehraj an Aanganwari worker from Budgam. Mehraj said that the higher ups have subjected hundreds of the Aanganwari workers to the highest level of discrimination by not paying them for the duties they have rendered during the previously conducted elections. "The authorities from the Social welfare Department are highly indifferent towards us by not considering our legitimate demands," cried Mehraj.
Not only Mehraj many others workers who are up in the arms against the authorities. These workers said that the orders for the election duty in the previously conducted elections were handwritten, that too on the plain papers, which is enough to suggest their sincerity towards the workers.
"Prior to the parliamentary elections which were conducted very recently we were asked to attend the office to collect the orders related to the election duties. But what we got from the authorities there was some words written by hand, that too on the simple paper. When we asked the concerned officer as to how valid this order is she convinced us that it hardly matters and remain assure that the justice will be served to you," said an Aanganwari worker of the ICDS project Narbal wishing anonymity. This worker was highly emotional saying that the authorities have failed time and again in ensuring the respect to this working class who shy in identifying themselves Aanganwari because these workers, as per her, the authorities are doing nothing for their upliftment and the issues like the non-payment of the election duty charges is simply enough to support their ideas. |
