ASHA Workers Protest for Higher Pay

ASHA workers in West Bengal are very upset because the government is not listening to their requests.

They want more money each month and better insurance if something bad happens to them while they are working.

So, they gathered in big numbers outside the health department's office and sat there to show they mean business.

The police had to lock the gates to keep them out, and the workers said they won't stop protesting until the government gives them a good answer.

Some of them even said they might not vote in the next big election if their demands aren't met.

A political leader from the BJP party also said he supports the workers and thinks the government isn't doing a good job with healthcare.
