Karnataka Cracks Down on Quacks, Warns of Legal Actions - Video
Overview
In a move to curb illegal medical practices, the Karnataka government has issued a firm directive targeting quacks and unauthorized clinics across the state.
A circular issued by the Health and Family Welfare Department, along with the Department of Ayush, outlines stringent legal measures to curb unlicensed medical practices and protect citizens from the risks associated with quackery.
According to the circular, only those registered with recognised medical councils — including allopathic, ayurvedic, and homeopathic systems-are legally permitted to practice medicine in Karnataka. The circular explicitly states that anyone found impersonating a doctor without valid registration will face a fine of up to ₹5 lakh and imprisonment of up to three years for repeated offences.
