Gauhati High Court demands Assam report on quack actions

The Gauhati High Court has ordered the Assam government to provide an updated report on actions taken against quacks by anti-quackery units. This follows an affidavit from the health services director stating that efforts are underway in each district. The court previously noted limited progress despite the establishment of anti-quackery units. The health department confirmed that these units are regularly inspecting clinical establishments across the state. The petitioner, Abhijit Neog, has been appointed as an anti-quackery and vigilance officer to monitor these efforts. He is required to submit a report on actions taken against quacks since his appointment. The case will be reviewed again in July.
