Bengaluru: Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) President questions the State Government’s move to relieve midday meal workers over the age of 60 years from State Government schools.
Speaking to mediapersons here on Sunday May 22, D. K. Shivakumar ridiculed the move of State Government to direct the headmasters of Government schools to relieve midday meal workers who have completed 60 years of age as on March 31, 2022, and that too without any financial benefits. He noted that 11,000 midday meal workers in Karnataka have been retired for crossing the age of 60, with no pensions, and no financial benefits. He questioned as to whether the Government does not owe gratitude to these workers who worked selflessly for children in the State.
Stating that once the Congress party comes to power in 2023 the party stand by them, he said that their interests will be protected.
