ASHA Workers Protest Across Bengal for Pay Hike

ASHA workers in West Bengal are protesting because they want more money for their work.

They say they only get about Rs 5,500 a month, but they work very hard, sometimes 15-16 hours a day.

They want Rs 15,000 a month, time off when they have babies, and money for the families of workers who die.

They also want to be recognized as official health workers.

They have been protesting for a month and even blocked roads in Kolkata.

The police had to stop them, and some workers say they were treated badly.

They are not happy with the government and plan to protest more next week.
