Asha, Midday Meal and Anganwadi Workers Suspend Hubballi Protest After Government Assurances

HUBBALLI, INDIA – December 2, 2025 – Hundreds of Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs), midday meal, and anganwadi workers in Hubballi suspended their indefinite day and night protest late Tuesday evening following assurances from both State and Central Ministers. The workers, hailing from Vijayapura, Bagalkot, Belagavi, Gadag, Haveri, Dharwad and Uttara Kannada districts, had launched the agitation on Monday, demanding the regularization of their services and pressing for the fulfillment of various other demands.

The protest was centered at Chitaguppi Park, near the office of Union Minister Pralhad Joshi. Representatives from various workers’ organizations and farmers’ groups addressed the protestors. An initial meeting with officials at Mr. Joshi’s office failed to produce satisfactory results, leading the workers to spend the night demonstrating in the open.

The protestors warned of escalating their actions if their concerns remained unaddressed. Subsequently, Minister Joshi engaged with protest representatives via video call, inviting them to Delhi for a dialogue and promising consideration of their demands. State leaders also appealed to the protestors, offering assurances of addressing their issues.

“In light of the promises made by both State and Central ministers to consider their demands” CITU State secretary Mahesh Pattar told The Hindu, “the protestors have agreed to suspend the agitation and send their representatives to Delhi for discussions with the Union Ministers.” The situation is being closely monitored as the workers await further developments.
