The G B Pant Hospital in a circular issued asserted that they should communicate only in English and Hindi during working hours and not to speak in Malayalam. The circular stated that a complaint had been received against speaking Malayalam and that action would be taken against those violating the order. Widespread protests are being raised against the order.
