The state government announced plans to form a committee to monitor bogus doctors and unauthorised nursing homes in Maharashtra. The panel will identify individuals practising medicine sans qualification and clinics operating without permission.

The government has also stated it plans to amend the existing law to increase penalties for such violations, including stricter fines and longer jail terms for fake doctors and illegally operating hospitals. The government has decided to form a committee to address this issue. It was noted quite rightly that bogus doctors and illegal clinics currently operate without fear of the law.
