The District Welfare Officer M. Saraswathi in Karimnagar has requested Anganwadi teachers and helpers to end their strike. She visited the striking Anganwadi camp and emphasized the importance of providing nutrition to pregnant women, nursing mothers, and babies every day. She urged the staff to stop the strike and resolve their issues peacefully. The government and officials of the women development and child welfare department are dedicated to the welfare of Anganwadis.
