Kerala asks Centre for ₹1,200 crore to disburse salaries
Kerala government on Tuesday asked the Centre to urgently provide ₹1,200 crore to the state treasury to disburse salaries and pensions claiming there was a "drastic reduction" in the state's revenue post demonetisation. Adding that Kerala's unorganised labour sector has been facing a financial crisis, state Finance Minister Thomas Issac said the organised sector is also moving in that direction.
