Visakhapatnam: The City police on Tuesday arrested several Anganwadi workers who have been agitating in pursuit of their demands of payment of minimum wages of Rs.26,000 and regularisation of services.

The Anganwadi workers, under the aegis of CITU, organised a protest camp in front of the Gandhi statue opposite



the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation main office here. They raised slogans and threatened to intensify agitation if their demands were not met.
