Maharashtra medical groups begin indefinite strike
The Indian Medical Association (IMA), the Maharashtra Association of Resident Doctors (MARD), and various other medical bodies have launched an indefinite strike across Maharashtra. The protest is in response to the state government's plan to allow homeopathy practitioners to register. The associations stated that emergency services will remain operational for the initial 24 hours. Meanwhile, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has labeled the ongoing protests as inappropriate.
