Thiruvananthapuram: Despite strong opposition from the Finance Department, Kerala Chief Minister has approved a significant pay hike for government law officers.
The Finance Department had raised concerns about the financial burden and questioned the necessity of the hike. However, the CM overruled these objections, citing the need for better compensation for law officers.
The revised pay structure is expected to be implemented soon, with an official order likely to be issued in the coming days. The decision has sparked debates, with the opposition expected to challenge the move.
