The Indian Medical

Association (IMA) and the Indian Dental Association (IDA) today protested against the Centre’s decision to allow postgraduate ayurveda practitioners to be trained in surgical procedures.

The association members said the notification by the Central Council of Indian Medicine (CCIM) to allow legal practice of surgeries by ayurveda practitioners and the formation of four committees by NITI Aayog for the integration of all systems of medicine would only lead to “mixopathy”.

Dr Rohit Sablok, who represents the IDA, Himachal, and secretary, IMA, Dr Adya said it was a gross violation of the fundamental principles of the modern medicine and ayurveda. —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).
