Presently, the minimum wage is Rs. 4,575 per month. As per new norms, they should be paid Rs. 17,650 per month.

He said that the if  Health and Family Welfare Minister U.T. Khader does not respond to the demand,  hold a dharna in front of  Khader’s office in the Vikas Soudha before the start of the monsoon session in Belagavi on June 29.
