“I went on hunger strike for 15 days, lost my father and now I have lost my job too and yet the government isn’t listening to our demands,” says Bina Sinha, head of Jharkhand Anganwadi Workers Union.
Chief Minister of Jharkhand Raghubar Das announced in a written letter that all these Anganwadi workers would be expelled if they didn’t end their protest.
