Kalighat, 25 May: ICDS conducted an interview for Anganwadi helper at ward No 5 at Kalighat on 10th Nay 2018. In that interview one female candidate was selected and later she was appointed in that post.
Now the public of that area are opposing the appointment as according to them the candidate does not belong to that area.
Public alleged that in all selections of Anganwadi, workers local candidates who are permanent resident of that area, are appointed.
But as per public in this case the candidate is a resident of Tugapur Mayabunder who is married to a Paschimsagar resident. As per public, after marriage she is residing at Kalighat with her husband in a rented house.
Opposing this public held a second dharna last Monday in front of Anganwadi centre while the first one was held in early this month. The public are also not allowing her to enter into that Anganwadi, because to this the Anganwadi is running without a helper, it is learnt.
Meanwhile, as per detail, the Pradhan and village has written a letter to CDPO protesting against this appointment and demanding appointment of a candidate from that area, as it is done in other places.
Meanwhile, Andaman Sheekha approached Social Welfare Department twice for a comment on this issue but as the Director is away, no one else is willing to reply to any of the questions in this issue.
