ASHA workers have been on strike since the last several days in different districts of the state demanding the Telangana Government for minimum monthly salary of Rs 15,000 among others.
According to Telangana DGP Anurag Sharma, keeping in view the law and order situation in Hyderabad city, police foiled the attempts by ASHA workers to hold their rally by taking them into custody in districts itself.
ASHA workers planned to hold a rally today as part of their protest programme and lay seige to Secretariat.
However, Hyderabad Police had yesterday denied them permission to hold the rally on the grounds that their proposed programme may likely to result in major law and order situation and disrupt traffic causing inconvenience to road users.
