Lawyers serving in government roles will see a notable pay increase, a move that aligns with state efforts to value legal contributions.
Additionally, a sum of Rs 17 lakh has been greenlit from the Chief Minister's Relief Fund to support Titto Thomas, a health worker who has been incapacitated following a battle with Nipah encephalitis. This financial backing will aid in his ongoing treatment at a Kozhikode hospital.
