I am confident that the talks will be fruitful and will not impact health services,\u201d he stated to the press.<\/p>\n It is important to note that the Odisha government enacted ESMA for six months starting August 6, banning strikes by class-III and class-IV health sector employees to prevent disruption of medical services.
