Himachal Mid-Day Meal Workers Protest for 12-Month Salary and Improved Conditions
Mid-Day Meal Workers Union in Himachal Pradesh protested across multiple districts demanding payment of a full 12-month salary instead of the current practice of distributing 10 months' wages over 12 months. The union, affiliated with CITU, also called for better service conditions and implementation of High Court rulings supporting their demands. Protests included demonstrations outside the Directorate of Education in Shimla, where a delegation sought a meeting with officials to discuss unresolved issues affecting around 21,000 workers.
