The students of Government schools are not getting proper midday. The cooking workers are on agitation. We will hold ‘Chalo Hyderabad rallies ‘ where we will urge education minister Sabita Indra Reddy to take action,” said the midday meal workers.
They are striking on the second day for the minimum wages that they have been assured by the Government.
The cooks of the mid-day meal workers’ association in Nizamabad said that they will wait for a response from officials until today evening before going on an indefinite strike if the government remains silent over the issues.
Several workers admitted that they had not been able to provide meals according to the updated menu as that would cost more.
The managements of some government schools across the state asked students to bring their meals from home for the next two days, while at some other schools, teachers prepared meals for the day.
school children are hungry, mid-way meal cooks are on strike, and teachers are unable to teach. Minister for Education Sabitha Indra Reddy has to intervene and resolve the issue at the earliest so that the education of the students is not disturbed.
