Nizamabad: The protests by Anganwadi teachers and workers in Nizamabad and Kamareddy districts led to tension.
Anganwadi teachers and helpers staged a protest in front of Kamareddy Collectorate on Wednesday alleging that Kamareddy Project Director (PD) Radhamma was making false bills and cutting the amount from their salaries, which are already very meagre.
AWW and Helpers Union State secretary Jayalakshmi alleged that PD Radhamma had misappropriated lakhs of rupees in cookers scam in Karimnagar earlier.
