High Court moved against rules barring them from applying for employment in Kerala
Paramedical professionals who graduated from institutions outside the State have filed a writ petition again in the Kerala High Court against rules that bar them from applying for government and private jobs in the State.
Khaleel Mohammed, president of Allied Health Students and Professionals Association, said on Sunday that registration with Kerala Paramedical Council was a must for getting jobs in the State. However, only those who studied in Kerala are allowed to register with the council. They need to get an equivalency certificate issued by the Kerala University of Health Sciences too.
Registration is required even for temporary jobs. People who had cleared interviews for government jobs too are unable to join them. Some States where they studied do not have a paramedical council.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
