On Friday, as per the pre-determined programme, the workers took out a procession against the government. During this time, an Anganwadi worker Sangeeta Semwal fainted.
The procession was taken out with effigies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Minister Smriti Irani, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, Cabinet Minister Rekha Arya.

Anganwadi workers from across the district participated in the demonstration under the banner of Anganwadi Workers, Sevikas and Mini Anganwadi Employees Organization.
