Police book Kerala Govt Nurses Association members for assaulting United Nurses Association state vice-president
Thiruvananthapuram : Cantonment police booked 12 members of Kerala Govt Nurses Association (KGNA) for allegedly attacking United Nurses Association (UNA) state vice-president Mini Boby, 54, over a dispute associated with the nursing council elections. She was attacked allegedly during the counting of votes for the council elections held on Friday night. Mini alleged that the accused disrupted the counting by stating that most of UNA's votes were fake and that the counting centre was locked. When she questioned it, she was attacked. "The accused held me by my dress and pushed me. As I fell down, they kicked me on my leg and thigh. They also verbally abused me. They did this after they realised that UNA candidates would win the elections. The accused alleged that 40,000 votes of UNA were fake when the total votes were 1.5 lakh," said Mini. Police registered the case against the accused under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita section 115 (2) for voluntarily causing hurt, 126 (2) for wrongful restraint, 296 (b) for abusing and 351 (2) for criminal intimidation.

Anthology of poems by Kozhikode nurses released
An anthology of poems, Idanerangalile Thanalvazhikal, penned by 28 nurses from Kozhikode district, which was released on Friday (May 30), features verses inspired by their personal experiences. Novelist Kalpetta Narayanan inaugurated the function, while poet P.K. Gopi released the book by handing a copy to novelist Sheela Tomy. Speaking on the occasion, Sheena K.P., nursing officer at Kozhikode Government Medical College Hospital, said, 'As nurses and women, we are often forced to bury our dreams.' She described the collection as a long-cherished dream, thanking the Kerala Government Nurses Association (KGNA) for its support and Rasaq Kalleri for facilitating them to publish it through Noura Publications. 'I have been encouraged to publish poems after sharing them on social media, but as a nurse, I did not think it was possible to get them published,' said Sindu T. A., nurse at Kozhikode Beach Hospital. She also gave the collection its title, saying that writing gives her the much-needed 'thanal'(shade) from her intense profession. A. K. Abdulhakeem, district project coordinator of Samagra Shiksha Kerala, presided over the event.
