Maharashtra Chief Secretary Sumit Mullick has directed the Woman and Child Development Department to withdraw a government resolution (GR) of October 16 which seeks to exempt Anganwadi Sevikas from additional work under the Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Amrut Aahar Yojana.

The WCD Department had issued the GR without consulting the parent Tribal Welfare Department. The WCD Department is headed by BJP minister Pankaja Munde, while the Tribal Welfare portfolio is handled by her senior party colleague Vishnu Savra.
