THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The chief minister is intervening in the strike staged by the PSC rank holders. Minister A K Balan will hold talks with the representatives of LGS rank holders as per the directive of the chief minister. The rank holders said they expect a favourable decision. Ahead of the talks with the minister, the representatives reached DYFI state committee office and held talks with its secretary A A Raheem. As the announcement of the elections is expected today, talks will be held with the minister before that.

The government had earlier informed that maximum appointments will be made as the list of LGS rank holders has two more months to expire. However, they continue protesting demanding a solution to the problem.
