width Municipal Corporation Ujjain issued tenders worth over Rs 30 million under Shiv Jyoti Arpanaam program on the occasion of Mahashivratri festival. But most of the work is being done through social welfare organizations and municipal employee officials. A unique order exposed the municipal order. About 300 Anganwadis and assistants of the city were assigned the task of washing the lamps being provided by the contractor. Lamp washing could be done by laborers. There is no shortage of workers in the municipality. Anganwadi workers and assistants are seen as a teacher. Like Anganwadi workers and assistants, she educates young children, but these Anganwadi workers have been engaged in tasks like washing lamps and will have them wash lamps for about three days. Leader of Opposition Ravi Rai said that engaging Anganwadi workers for this task was like hurting their dignity. He said that the work of washing the lamps should be done by the concerned contractors and the entire work should be done with the amount of Rs 3 crore being spent on the work. But the corporation officials are putting pressure on the Anganwadi workers to wash the lamps and in any case this is an injustice to the employees and they should be made to do the honorable work. Madhya Pradesh, District Administration, Municipal Administration, and Social Panchayat Department should I decide in this regard.
