Kerala High Court asks why nursing is not declared ‘essential service’

Kerala High Court asks why nursing is not declared ‘essential service’ The Kerala High Court has orally asked why services rendered by nurses are not declared as an “essential service”. The court issued notices to the Secretary, State Council for Clinical Establishments; Secretary, Health and Family Welfare Department; and the Jubilee Mission Hospital, Thrissur, in a petition filed by the Kerala State United Nurses’ Association, challenging the appointment of unregistered persons as nurses in Jubilee Mission Hospital and Amala Institute of Medical Sciences, Thrissur, during an ongoing strike by qualified nurses. The association contended that such appointments are in violation of the law under Kerala Nurses and Midwives Act, 1953 and the Kerala Clinical Establishment (Registration and Regulation) Act. The court orally remarked that it is not justifying the action of the hospital or the association, and that certain categories of services such as doctors, nurses, lawyers cannot go on strike. While suggesting that nurses go on strikes after their working hours, the court sought the State government’s stance on the matter of nursing as an essential service. The petitioner then asserted that only the petitioner association is on strike and there are other nurses who are available. It added that one-third of the staff are working in essential units. The staff nurses in the two hospitals had gone on strike in March, demanding fair wages.

Who was protecting Bandi Sanjay’s son after being named as accused in POCSO case, asks KTR

Who was protecting Bandi Sanjay’s son after being named as accused in POCSO case, asks KTR It was the ‘bond’ between Union Minister of State for Home Bandi Sanjay Kumar and Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, holding the portfolio of Home too, which had protected the former’s son from arrest in the POCSO case registered against him by providing him shelter allegedly in a corporate hospital belonging to the latter’s relatives, Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president K.T. Reacting to the “irrational and illogical comments” made by the Chief Minister on Thursday (May 21, 2026), Mr. Rama Rao sought to know which ‘idiot’ had tried to heap injustice on a girl for extending his political interests all these days. Speaking to newspersons here, he said that it was the bond between the Union Minister and the Chief Minister that had led to the threatening of the victim girl’s family and registration of a false counter case. The BRS leader further wanted the Union Minister and the Chief Minister to explain to the people of Telangana as to who had managed the media either for not giving coverage to the news at all or to dismiss it as a petty issue, who had made phone calls to the media houses and who had tried to paint the issue as a “honey trap” when injustice was being done to a girl. It was in the unavoidable and inevitable circumstances after the High Court had refused to grant bail to the accused in the case, the government had to show the arrest of the accused. The Chief Minister had tried to escape the responsibility by attributing the delay in arrest to the police engaged in the Prime Minister’s visit.
