Anganwadi Workers Protest in Kodangal Over New Policy
Anganwadi workers in Kodangal protested because they felt a new program added too much work.
They were already busy with things like taking care of kids and giving them good food.
The workers gathered in front of the bus station, which made it hard for people to get around.
Police then came to move the protesters.
A few workers got into a scuffle with the police.
The police detained some of the protesters and opened the road for traffic.
The workers stopped protesting after the police talked to them.
They said they will protest again if the government doesn't listen to their problems.
Anganwadi workers staged a sit-in at the RTC bus stand in Kodangal.
The workers protested against the recently introduced pre-primary education system.
The workers argued the new system increased their workload without extra staff.
Police intervened, resulting in confrontations and detentions of protesters.
The workers ended the sit-in after negotiations but threatened to resume protests.
