High Court Asks Punjab to Consider Interest on Delayed Anganwadi Worker Honorarium
The Punjab and Haryana High Court has urged the Punjab government to consider paying interest to Anganwadi workers and helpers for delayed honorarium payments. The court noted that over 50,000 workers were unpaid for six months due to technical issues with bank account mapping. While arrears have been cleared, the court expressed hope the state, as a welfare entity, would grant interest to compensate for the delay, requesting a decision within 60 days.
