thebalanced.newsKerala High Court Lifts Restrictions Amid Nurses' Strike and Failed Mediation
The Kerala High Court modified its March 13 interim order concerning a statewide nurses' strike demanding a salary increase to Rs 40,000 in private hospitals. After mediation efforts failed and reports of ongoing strikes in some hospitals, the court lifted restrictions preventing private hospitals from taking disciplinary action against striking nurses. The court also allowed the nurses' association to continue the strike if advised, following petitions from private hospital managements and the nurses' union.
