💨 Abstract

ASHA workers in Thiruvananthapuram have been protesting for 55 days, demanding a higher honorarium and retirement benefits. In the latest round of discussions with the government, the proposal to form a committee to consider their demands was suggested by the Congress-affiliated INTUC, an allegation denied by the trade union. The ASHA Workers Association (KAHWA) rejected the proposal and suggested a direct increase in honorarium instead.
