Chandigarh, December 13

Members of the local units of the Indian Dental Association (IDA) and the Indian Medical Association (IMA) have taken a categorical stand against the integration of various systems of medicines.

The notification of the amendment to Central Council of Indian Medicine (CCIM) Act regarding postgraduate Ayurveda surgery to study and practise independently has to be seen as another step towards legitimising the integration of various systems, said a member.

The members expressed their solidarity with the IDA and the IMA in their protest against these “retrograde” steps of the government, and observed a “dental bandh” by not attending any elective procedures at their clinics and hospitals on Saturday.

The members, carrying banners and wearing black badges, staged a protest at Sector 17 as well on the IMA premises in Sector 35. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
