Disabled Worker Fights Unjust Dismissal: Petitions Tirupur District Collector for Justice

In a brave stance against unfair dismissal, Sivaraj, a disabled laboratory assistant from Tirupur, petitions the District Collector, challenging his termination despite a court injunction.


Tiruppur: In a recent development, Sivaraj, a resident of Udumalaipet area in Tirupur district, who is living with disabilities, has taken a significant step in his fight for justice. Sivaraj, who had been serving as a dedicated laboratory assistant in the health department for more than a decade, found himself facing unwarranted termination recently.

Undeterred by his dismissal, Sivaraj swiftly took action by filing a compelling petition at the Tirupur District Collector's Office.
