    Solution

    Odisha Government has recently invoked the Orissa Essential Services (Maintenance) Act (ESMA), preventing paramedical personnel, including nurses, pharmacists, technicians, and Class III and IV employees, from participating in strikes to safeguard uninterrupted medical services.   Enacted by the Indian Parliament in 1968, ESMA is designed to ensure the continuity of specific services crucial to people's daily lives.   This legislation is enforced to prevent employees from participating in strikes that could disrupt essential services. Employees are not allowed to use bandhs or curfews as reasons for abstaining from work.
