What happened
The Mid-Day Meal Workers Union, affiliated with the Centre of Indian Trade Unions, staged protests across several blocks in Himachal Pradesh on October 1, 2026. Participants, including Meena and Jagat Ram, demanded that the state government pay 12 months' salary instead of distributing 10 months' wages over 12 months. The union submitted memorandums to the Directorate of Education seeking a resolution to their demands.
