While addressing Mohd Yousuf Bhat alleged that the water workers are given only RS 30 per month and Mid Day Meal workers were given only RS 1000 per month which is very less for a worker and it is totally an injustice with him.
He said the Minimum Wages Act is not properly implemented and workers are harassed and not given their rights. The protesters asked the Government to implement Minimum Wages Act and give minimum salary of RS 3000 per month to them regularly.

The Government is silent on the issue and did not pay attention despite the regular protests and approach made to it for years together by them.
