Imphal, Jan 22:

The All Manipur ASHA Workers’ Union has announced a state-wide work cessation starting tomorrow, January 23, citing the government’s failure to address their long-standing grievances. The announcement was made today at the Manipur Press Club during a press briefing.
Speaking to the media, the President of the All Manipur ASHA Workers’ Union, Sharmila Begum, stated that the union had issued an ultimatum to the state government on January 5, demanding a hike in their honorarium and regularization of their services. The ultimatum set January 22 as the deadline for the government to act. With no response or progress from the authorities, the union has decided to cease work as a form of protest.
ASHA workers, who play a critical role in the state’s healthcare delivery system, are demanding fair treatment and improved working conditions. The union also warned that its members would boycott the upcoming Republic Day celebrations as part of their protest.
“Our work is indispensable to the healthcare system, but we continue to face neglect and inadequate compensation. The government’s failure to act on our demands has left us with no option but to cease work,” Sharmila Begum said.
The union’s demands include a significant increase in their honorarium to reflect their contribution to public health and the regularization of their employment to ensure job security.
The All Manipur ASHA Workers’ Union has called on the government to engage in meaningful dialogue to resolve the issue and address their demands promptly, emphasizing the critical nature of their role in the state’s healthcare system.
