Nurses in Sri Lanka to protest against cabinet

THE government nursing officers association in Sri Lanka will launch an Island-wide protest campaign on Thursday (8) against the cabinet for ignoring their demands.

The cabinet had postponed considering the two cabinet papers on promotions and staff status of nurses.


"Accordingly, we will be carrying out protest campaigns island-wide in order to show our displeasure over Cabinet's decision to ignore considering our demands," the association chairman Saman Rathnapriya said.

“The responsibility for the burden caused to the people should lie with the relevant authorities who failed to mete out their pledges,” he added.

President Gotabaya Rajapaksa took steps to provide immediate solutions to five out of seven demands made by the public services united nurses union on July 02, the Daily Mirror report said.

King Charles is set to make history by becoming the first reigning British monarch to publicly disclose his personal tax payments, marking a significant shift in how the Royal Family presents its finances to the public.

The King's tax bill for the 2024-25 financial year will be published on June 25 as part of the annual royal financial accounts, placing royal finances and Buckingham Palace transparency firmly in the spotlight. Buckingham Palace said the disclosure was a personal decision by the King and forms part of a wider effort to modernise how information about the monarchy's finances is shared.
