Elected representatives from Nongpoh have decided to jointly take up issues and problems faced by ASHAs in their constituency.
Nongpoh MLA, Mayral Born Syiem and MDC, Balajied Rani both made an assurance to the ASHAs today when they handed over essentials and cash to the workers. They said they would take up any issue affecting their work to the State government especially on matters related to regular payment of their honorarium.
It may be mentioned that ASHAs have a tremendously vital role to play in poor and largely rural Meghalaya and their importance only grew with the coming of the Covid-19 pandemic.
At the brief meeting which was also attended by representative of ASHA workers and members of Nongpoh Constituency Community COVID-19 Management Committee, both Syiem and Rani lauded the efforts and dedication put in by the ASHAs and during the pandemic.
