IndiaThe article reports on mass layoffs by US-based CorroHealth Infotech Private Limited, which dismissed 600 employees in Kochi and 200 in Kozhikode without prior notice. The Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] criticized the action, calling it illegal under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, as the new labor codes have not yet been implemented.

He emphasized that the dismissal violated labor laws and workers' rights.
