Put NMC notification on hold: CM to PM

Chief Minister M K Stalin has requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi to halt the implementation of a National Medical Commission notification that limits the opening of new medical colleges in states. He believes that this notification infringes upon the rights of state governments and penalizes states that have invested in their public health infrastructure. Stalin argues that states like Tamil Nadu, which have strengthened their healthcare networks, require new institutions to meet the growing demand for quality health services. He also suggests that the notification may be legally questionable based on a recent Supreme Court judgment.
