Srinagar, Dec 22: The Anganwadi workers today held a protest in north Kashmir’s Handwara area against the recently approved human resource (HR) policy.
The protesting Anganwadi workers said that the retirement age for Anganwadi employees has been set at 60, and several orders contain provisions that are not in their best interests. “We are being told those Anganwadi workers who have attained the age of sixty years should sit at home; the move is unjustified and uncalled for,” said an Anganwadi worker.
The workers said while the retirement age for Anganwadi workers in New Delhi and Ladakh is 65 years, it is 60 years old in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. “We urge the administration to repeal the policy since it is unfair to us” they said.
