In Bihar, only ~20% of #ASHA workers have been given masks & gloves for #COVID19 screening. Without proper equipment, ASHAs fear they will catch the infection, said Chunni Kumari, an ASHA from East Champaran district, in our May 2020 story indiaspend.com/why-bihars-doo…
In Nagaland, Meghalaya and Assam, experts suggested that #ASHA workers be roped in to help prevent #domesticviolence during the #lockdown and provide redress to victims, as we reported in April 2020

Listen to what Ranjit Kaur, an ASHA from Ropar told us here about how ASHAs are working for free in Punjab.
Earlier Haryana had asked #ASHA workers in the state to get smartphones to feed data online. ASHAs in the state protested. Hear what Sarabjit from kaithal, told us
Assam’s Minara Begum, an #ASHA (women health workers) sold her daughter’s mobile phone & steel almirah during #Covid19. Unpaid & delayed salaries are pushing ASHAs to brink. Read part 2 of our series on ASHAs w/ @Article14live article-14.com/post/promised-…
India’s govt promised a million already overworked & underpaid women ASHAs Rs 1,000 as incentive to take on often dangerous Covid-19 work. Nearly 6 months later, even that “insulting” amount is mostly unpaid: Our 16-state survey in collab w/ @Article14live
ASHAs play a crucial role in containing the #CoronavirusPandemic . Yet, govt policy does not recognise the contribution of a million+ ASHAs, withholding & delaying payments, cutting corners on incentives & placing them under financial burden. Part 2 of our series. @Article14live
Haryana Govt has announced additional pay incentive equal to basic pay of health care workers tackling #Covid_19--doctors, nurses, lab techs, ambulance drivers, safai karmacharis.
Missing in this directive are 20,115 ASHA who are the most frontline workers in the pandemic.

Haryana has fixed pay of Rs.4000 per month after a long struggle by ASHAs ( along with central govt. incentives). However, they have not been paid since January 2020. In some districts like Sonepat, not paid since October 2019.
Haryana Govt has now asked #ASHA workers to download an survey app on their android phones. ASHAs have to buy their own phones and spend their own money for internet packs. ASHAs are resisting this move.
