The Kannur Town police have registered a case against around 100 Kerala Government Nurses Association (KGNA) activists. The case was filed on charges of trespassing within the collectorate, participating in a group protest, and causing traffic obstruction. No case has been filed against MLA M. Vijin who inaugurated the protest march at Collectorate premises.
Nurses had gathered to urge the Central government’s reinstatement of the state’s financial share, address ration issues, implement nurse promotions, settle leave allowances, and clear salary revision arrears on January 4. In the absence of the police at the gate protestors entered the Collectorate causing confusion.
During the inauguration, Kannur Town sub-inspector P.P Shameel allegedly warned Mr. Vijin of arrest unless he left the premises.
