Sanitation Workers Storm Collectorate with Brooms in Ashoknagar, Protest Over Online Attendance and Salary Cuts

Ashoknagar (Madhya Pradesh): Online attendance has turned into a major hurdle for temporary sanitation workers in Ashoknagar, leading to significant salary deductions.

Gwalior (Madhya Pradesh): A soldier who once confronted Pakistani forces during Operation Sindoor to protect the nation is today pleading for protection from his own wife and her family.
