Haryana ASHA Workers to Protest Over Unpaid Dues and Benefits

ASHA workers across Haryana are set to stage a protest demanding payment of pending dues and better benefits. The workers, who serve as community health volunteers under the National Rural Health Mission, say that many have not received payments for several months, and the benefits promised under the scheme remain unfulfilled.

They plan to gather at key locations across the state, with thousands of workers expected to participate. The protest will be organized by local health unions and will seek a clear timeline for dues and a review of benefit packages.

State health authorities have not yet responded, but the workers have requested an urgent meeting with the state health minister.
