Residents of Kanibanka in Kendrapara district have expressed concern over the discovery of insects and worms in sattu and suji packets supplied by the local Anganwadi centre. Allegations have been made against the Self Help Group for providing substandard food, which has been denied by the Anganwadi worker Puspanjali Pradhan. The Odisha Deputy Chief Minister has promised strict action against those responsible for compromising the health of children with substandard food.
Anganwadi workers in Nellore, Andhra Pradesh, met with YSRCP district president and Rajya Sabha Member Vemireddy Prabhakara Reddy to discuss their pending issues. They urged him to bring their concerns to the attention of Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. The MP assured the workers that he would raise their issues with the CM soon. A representation was also submitted to Vemireddy Prabhakara Reddy.
