AYUSH practitioners withdraw stir
Practitioners of AYUSH (Ayurveda,Yoga, Unani, Sidda and Homeopathic), who had been protesting for the past three days seeking an amendment to the rules that will allow them to administer allopathic drugs in emergencies, withdrew their strike on Monday. The withdrawal is temporary and followed Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar’s assurance that the issues raised by them would be discussed in the Assembly on Tuesday. The message was passed on to them by health minister Aravind Limbavali.
Dr N.A. Magadum, President, AYUSH Federation of India, Karnataka Chapter, said: “On Monday, Mr Limbavali arrived at the strike venue in the Freedom Park and assured us that our demand will be discussed in the Assembly on Tuesday and action will be taken immediately.” Meanwhile, if it does not materialise then we would again begin with our protest, he added.
