New Delhi: 13,800 radiologists across the country, took a step back from their OPDs today, with all radiological modalities including CT, ultrasound, MRI, coming to a close.
The doctors have united together to oppose the " Draconian " provisions of the PC-PNDT Act and its non-uniform implementation, which has led to unnecessary harassment of doctors, including prosecution under various sections of the act.
The radiology bandh, saw participation from radiologists across the country, with even small clinics as well as diagnostic centres being shut to show their solidarity with fellow professionals as well as their strong opposition to the provisions of the PC-PNDT Act.
Meanwhile, in the capital, IRIA (Indian Radiological and Imaging Association) called for a peaceful protest and dharna at Jantar Mantar New Delhi. The dharna, which was held in the afternoon, saw participation from around 600 radiologists working at various government/private hospitals as well as private clinics in the Delhi/NCR region.
