Panchayat workers also under the health scheme

• April 20, 2023

Panchayet workers are also being brought under the government health scheme. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee announced this from Nabanna. Said, 'We have received a request from the federation to include Panchayat Raj employees in the health scheme.

They have 30 thousand workers in Zilla Parishad, Mahkuma Parishad, Panchayat Samiti, Gram Panchayat. There are 20 thousand pension recipients. We included these 50,000 people in the health scheme following the request of the federation.

The government's decision has put a smile on the faces of panchayat workers. Panchayat elections are being heard in the state. The state is burning in intense fire. In this situation, the Chief Minister took a humanitarian decision by bringing panchayat workers under the government health scheme. The ruling party Trinamool is also happy with this announcement. The Trinamool-controlled Employees' Federation has been demanding the inclusion of the health scheme for a long time. Notably, the conflict between the state government and the government employees on the joint struggle stage is going on for the demand of Dearness Allowance (DA) at the central rate. A legal battle is underway. In such a situation, Mamata's decision is considered a masterstroke by political circles.
