- ASHA workers in Mandya protested in front of the Deputy Commissioner's office on Friday, demanding that their pending wages, incentives and other demands be met.
- The workers, belonging to the State Joint ASHA Workers' Association and the All India United Union Centre, said salaries and enhanced incentives promised under a government guarantee of at least ₹10,000 are not being paid.
- The protesters demanded that the government stop requiring them to do documentation through the Samastha app, saying they are asked to do mobile-based work without being given mobile phones.
- The association has already submitted an appeal letter to the minister and the NHM Mission Director at the state level.
- The protest matters because ASHA workers said the government has pushed them to protest two or three times a year, and their demands also include retirement dues for retired workers and reinstatement of a dismissed worker named Jyothi.
What to watch next
- Response of the minister and NHM Mission Director to the association's appeal letter
- Whether the government withdraws the Samastha app documentation requirement at the primary health centre level
