New Delhi: Members of the Indian Association of Physiotherapists (IAP) launched an indefinite hunger strike at Jantar Mantar, demanding an independent central council to regulate the profession.
More than 700 physiotherapists from across the country took part in the agitation.
There is no council, on the lines of the Medical Council of India (MCI) and the Dental Council of India, to look into professional issues, even though physiotherapy course started in India in 1953.
