Brijesh Singh from Rewa in Madhya Pradesh is reporting from a noisy rally of Traditional midwives (Dais). They are very happy today as Govt has again allowed them to work. They had reported on Swara after they were stopped from working as they did for generations. They are thanking Swara listeners who called officials to help them. Now they are requesting Govt to also give them some monetary renumeration as ASHA health workers. Brijesh@7772001850
