According to Ravi Kumudesh, President of the Joint Council for Professions of Supplementary Medicine, a crucial meeting has been scheduled today (06) at the Finance Ministry under the directive of the President where the grievances are to be taken into account.

“However, the strike will resume from tomorrow if a satisfactory resolution remains elusive,” he stressed.
