Health workers call off protests after â¹3000 wage promise
Over 15,000 Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs) from Karnataka called off their protest on Friday, after the state government agreed to increase their monthly wages to â¹3,000. ASHAs had demanded regularised jobs and a fixed monthly pay of â¹6,000 through a sit-in demonstration at Bengaluru's Freedom Park. They alleged that they would not receive even â¹1,500 from the state earlier.
