Hundreds gathered in front of the Secretariat on Saturday for 'Poura Sagaram', a public show of support for ASHA workers who have been protesting for fair wages and recognition.

The event was inaugurated by social activist Khadeeja Mumtaz, who said, "This righteous struggle must succeed".

She asked why the government was resisting a modest increase in honorarium when it had earlier promised Rs 21,000 in its manifesto.

The Poura Sagaram passed a resolution demanding that the government accept the ASHA workers' demands and end the protest. The resolution stated that this movement is in line with the state's proud tradition of democratic struggles and is necessary for a healthy and just society.
