Tensions flare as ASHA workers, police clash amid protest in Hyderabad

Tensions flared between Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA) workers and police officials amid a protest in Hyderabad’s Sultan Bazar on Monday, December 9.

Several ASHA protestors were detained from the Directorate of



Medical Education (DME) office as they demanded an increment of salary to Rs 18,000, a pre-election promise of the Congress.

As the ASHA workers began protesting at the DME office, police personnel began to detain the women.
