Workers were seen demanding the release of their pending wages in Visakhapatnam. Hundreds of ASHA female volunteers sat on a dharna under the presence of police personnel. ASHA volunteers are trained community health workers, who work under several government schemes. Volunteers receive payment of as low as Rs 7,000 as an honorarium, not a salary.
