Hoshiarpur- For a long time, the Punjab government has been continuously exploiting the mid-day meal workers. Even after three and a half years of the government, not a single penny has been increased in the honorarium of these workers and neither has there been any mention of increase in their salary in the budget of 2025. These workers are forced to work on an honorarium of Rs 3000 for the last four years.
These words were expressed by the Mid-Day Meal Workers under the leadership of State General Secretary of Mid-Day Meal Workers Union Kamaljit Kaur Kharari, Block Kot Fatuhi President Amarveer Kaur and Punjab Subordinate Services Federation led by Narinder Ajanoha while burning the effigy of the Punjab Government at Rana Bakery near the local Main Bist-Doab Canal Chowk.
The leaders demanded that the Punjab government implement their minimum wage hike, uniform, health insurance and many other legitimate and just demands. On this occasion, they raised slogans against the Punjab government.
On this occasion Kulveer Kaur, Pradeep Kaur, Baljit Kaur, Sarabjit Kaur, Sanyogta, Darshan Kaur, Kamlesh Rani, Jaswinder Kaur, Paramjit Kaur, Harpreet Kaur, Surjit Kaur, Raj Rani, Jasveer Kaur, Meena, Anita Devi, Satveer Kaur, Sukhwinder Kaur, Manpreet Kaur, Kaushalya Devi, Sham Sunder Kapoor, Malkiat Singh Bahowal, Harbhajan Singh, Sagli Ram, Sohan Singh, Balwinder Singh, Gurnam Chand, Kashmir Singh, Varinder Kumar etc were present in large numbers.
