NMC cautions students against fake medical colleges, fraudulent admission offers
New Delhi, Nov 10: The National Medical Commission has cautioned students and parents against taking admission or making payments to medical colleges without verifying their authenticity and regulatory approval, amid instances of institutions offering medical courses without statutory permission. The advisory comes in compliance with directions of the Supreme Court in an ongoing case -- Ayesha Jain v Amity University, Noida and Others -- in which the court directed regulatory bodies, including the commission, to caution students and parents against dealing with educational institutions without first verifying their authenticity. The direction was issued in the context of a reported instance of a purported fake medical college operating from a farmhouse and claiming to offer various courses. The commission said students and parents should exercise due diligence and verify the authenticity and regulatory status of any institution before seeking admission, enrolling in or making any payment towards a medical course. It advised students seeking admission to MBBS courses to verify whether the college is included in the official list of medical colleges published by the commission and whether the requisite permission has been granted for the relevant academic year. The commission cautioned that the presence of a college in an official list or its operation in an earlier year shall not, by itself, be treated as confirmation of permission to admit students for every subsequent academic year or beyond the approved intake. Students have been advised to independently verify the permission status, course and number of approved seats through official NMC and Medical Assessment and Rating Board records. The NMC also warned students not to rely solely on brochures, websites, advertisements, social media posts or purported permission and approval letters circulated by institutions or their representatives. For admissions covered by counselling procedures, candidates have been advised to use official channels, including the Medical Counselling Committee or the competent state or Union Territory counselling authority. The commission also cautioned against making admission-related payments to unauthorised agents, personal bank accounts or unverified intermediaries. Approval, affiliation, registration or recognition granted by one authority for a particular purpose should not be construed as permission from the National Medical Commission to conduct an MBBS course, the advisory said. It urged students and parents to report suspected fake medical colleges, unauthorised MBBS courses, forged permission letters, fraudulent admission offers or misleading representations to the NMC and other competent authorities. The NMC further clarified that courses such as pharmacy, nursing, Ayurveda, and allied and healthcare programmes fall under different statutory or competent regulatory authorities and their regulatory status should be verified with the authority concerned. Timely verification and reporting of suspected fraudulent activities are essential to protect students from financial loss, prevent misuse of the name of statutory authorities and safeguard the standards and integrity of medical education, it said.

Greater Noida: One criminal injured in police encounter, two others escape
Digital Desk | Greater Noida, Nov 7 (IANS) An encounter broke out between police and a group of house robbers in the Dadri police station area of Greater Noida, leaving one accused injured in police firing. Two other suspects managed to escape under the cover of darkness, prompting a search operation. According to the Noida Police, a team from Dadri police station was checking suspicious vehicles and individuals near Sector J-3 when they spotted four suspects travelling in a car. When the police attempted to stop the vehicle, the suspects allegedly opened fire at the police team. The police retaliated, during which one of the accused, identified as Ajay, sustained a bullet injury to his leg. The police cordoned off the area and apprehended him. He was subsequently taken to a hospital for treatment. During a combing operation in the area, another accused, identified as Sameer, was also arrested. However, two other suspects managed to flee, taking advantage of the darkness. Police teams have launched a search operation to trace them. The police recovered the car used in the crime, an illegal pistol, cartridges and a knife from the arrested accused. Stolen jewellery and Rs 6,000 in cash were also seized. The recovered jewellery included two pairs of silver anklets, four silver coins, a gold ring, a silver bracelet and a gold chain. During interrogation, the accused allegedly confessed to targeting locked houses in four colonies in the Dadri area, including Omicron, Mu and Pink City. They reportedly conducted reconnaissance of houses to identify those that were locked before carrying out thefts. According to police records, Ajay has 15 criminal cases registered against him, while Sameer has four cases registered against him. Police officials said further investigation was underway to identify the two absconding accused and establish their involvement in other theft cases. Raids are being conducted at suspected locations to apprehend the remaining suspects. The police are also investigating the recovered jewellery and cash to establish links with other reported thefts in the area.
Annamalai urges people to buy more crackers for Diwali, cites livelihood of eight lakh workers
Digital Desk | Chennai, Nov 7 (IANS) We The Leaders President, K. Annamalai, has appealed to people across Tamil Nadu to celebrate Diwali by purchasing and bursting firecrackers in large quantities, saying the survival of thousands of families depends on the state's fireworks industry. In a video message released ahead of the festival, Annamalai urged people to support locally manufactured firecrackers, particularly those produced in Sivakasi, the country's major fireworks manufacturing hub in Virudhunagar district. He said the industry provides direct employment to nearly three lakh people and indirectly supports another five lakh workers, making it an important source of livelihood for approximately eight lakh people. When we buy firecrackers, we are helping someone put food on the table, he said, emphasising the economic significance of Diwali sales. Referring to concerns about air pollution, Annamalai acknowledged the importance of environmental protection but disagreed with the argument that firecrackers alone were responsible for pollution. He maintained that the firecracker industry should not be subjected to disproportionate restrictions while other sources of pollution continued to exist in the country. Annamalai concluded by urging families to visit neighbourhood shops with their children and purchase locally manufactured firecrackers. He said public support during Diwali was essential to protect the livelihoods of workers and ensure the continued survival of Tamil Nadu's traditional fireworks industry. Annamalai's message on the use of firecrackers came at a time when major metropolitans like Delhi, Mumbai, Gurugram and the National Capital Region including Noida and Ghaziabad in North India have been reeling under high levels of pollution. As the AQI touches nearly 400 in Delhi, and surrounding areas there have been calls to ban the use of firecrackers as the air quality that is already bad turns worse after Diwali and turns the region into a gas chamber. Amid the worsening pollution situation, the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) on Friday invoked Stage III of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) across Delhi-NCR as a precautionary measure, days ahead of Diwali. Under the existing Stage III framework, a nine-point action plan will be implemented across Delhi-NCR to contain rising pollution levels. The measures include restrictions on construction and demolition activities, vehicle movement and industrial operations, along with steps concerning schools and offices. The restrictions are aimed at reducing emissions and preventing further deterioration in air quality across the region.

NMC issues advisory on fraudulent medical colleges
Srinagar, Nov 6: The National Medical Commission (NMC) has cautioned students, parents and public against falling prey to fraudulent medical institutions offering MBBS without obtaining mandatory recognition, approval or permission from the competent regulatory authorities. In an advisory, the NM asked students and parents to verify the authenticity and regulatory status of medical colleges before seeking admission. The commission said it had received information about certain institutions offering medical and allied courses without obtaining the requisite approvals. It warned that students and parents could be misled through advertisements, websites, social media promotions, unauthorised admission offers and false representations made by institutions, agents or intermediaries. The advisory follows directions issued by the Supreme Court of India in an ongoing case titled Ayesha Jain v. Amity University, Noida and Others, in which the court took cognisance of the issue and directed regulatory bodies, including the NMC, to caution students and parents against dealing with educational institutions without first verifying their authenticity. The directions were issued in the context of a reported instance of a purported fake medical college operating from a farmhouse and claiming to offer various courses. In compliance with the court's directions, the NMC has laid down a series of precautions for students and parents to prevent fraudulent admissions and financial losses. The commission has specifically advised MBBS aspirants to check whether a medical college figures in the official list of medical colleges published on the NMC website and whether it has obtained the requisite permission or approval for the relevant academic year. It has clarified that the mere presence of a college in the official list or its previous operation does not automatically mean that it is authorised to admit students. Students have been asked to independently verify the permission status, course and number of approved seats for the relevant academic year through official records of the NMC and its Medical Assessment and Rating Board (MARB). The commission has also warned against relying exclusively on brochures, prospectuses, websites, advertisements, social media posts, purported Letters of Permission, approval letters and certificates circulated by institutions or their representatives. Any doubt regarding the authenticity of such documents, it said, should be clarified directly with the concerned regulatory authority through its official communication channels. On the admission process, the NMC has advised candidates to follow prescribed counselling procedures and verify the institution and seat allotted through the official counselling authority, including the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), wherever applicable, or the competent State or Union Territory counselling authority. The advisory stresses the need to physically assess the institutional premises and facilities, particularly where colleges make extraordinary claims about medical education, clinical training, hospital infrastructure and admission opportunities. The commission has clarified that the existence of a building, office, website or advertisement alone does not establish that an institution is legally authorised to impart medical education. On financial transactions, students and parents have been advised not to make admission-related payments to unauthorised agents, personal bank accounts or unverified intermediaries. It has further stated that representations made by agents or institutions cannot substitute for verification of statutory permissions and compliance with the prescribed admission procedure. The NMC has also underlined the distinction between different regulatory approvals, clarifying that affiliation, registration, recognition or approval granted by one authority for a particular purpose cannot be construed as permission from the commission to conduct an MBBS course. Requirements of every competent regulatory authority must be independently fulfilled. The advisory further provides for reporting suspected fraudulent institutions, unauthorised MBBS courses, forged permission letters, fraudulent admission offers and misleading representations to the NMC through its official website and communication channels. Such cases may also be brought to the notice of the concerned State or UT Department of Medical Education, competent regulatory authority and local police, as appropriate. Complainants have been advised to preserve advertisements, payment receipts, correspondence, website details and other supporting material while reporting suspected fraud.

Delhi HC exempts NCR-based lawyers, court staff from BS-VI vehicle restrictions on court days
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 6 (IANS) The Delhi High Court has granted relief to advocates and court staff residing in the National Capital Region (NCR), allowing them to enter the city in vehicles that do not comply with BS-VI emission standards on days when courts are functioning. A single-judge Bench of Justice Amit Mahajan passed the order while considering a plea filed by the Delhi High Court Bar Association (DHCBA) seeking exemption for advocates residing in neighbouring areas, including Gurugram, Faridabad, Noida, and Ghaziabad, from the restrictions imposed on the entry of non-BS-VI-compliant vehicles into the national capital. Senior advocate N. Hariharan, appearing for the DHCBA, submitted that advocates and court employees form an integral part of the judicial system and should be permitted to travel to Delhi in their vehicles to attend court proceedings and discharge their professional responsibilities. He argued that restricting their entry would adversely affect the functioning of courts and the administration of justice, as advocates are required to remain present during court proceedings, and their inability to reach court when their matters are taken up could prejudice the litigants they represent. Hariharan submitted that the notification itself empowers the Environment Department to grant specific exemptions to other categories of vehicles, enabling the authorities to consider relief for advocates travelling to Delhi for professional purposes. The development comes amid restrictions imposed by the Delhi government on the entry of vehicles registered outside the national capital that do not meet BS-VI emission standards, as part of measures to combat rising pollution levels during the winter season. The restrictions, which came into effect on November 1, will remain in force until January 31, 2027. Under the norms, petrol and diesel vehicles registered outside Delhi and conforming to BS-IV or older emission standards are barred from entering the national capital. However, the restrictions have exempted BS-VI compliant vehicles, as well as those running on CNG and electricity, besides ambulances, fire tenders, police vehicles and other notified categories. Earlier, the Delhi High Court had issued notice on a separate petition challenging the restrictions but declined to grant an interim stay on their implementation. The plea had questioned the differential treatment of vehicles registered in Delhi and those registered in neighbouring states, arguing that similarly placed vehicles were being treated differently merely on the basis of their place of registration. According to estimates from the Transport Department, more than 10 lakh vehicles across Delhi-NCR, including Noida, Greater Noida, Gurugram, Faridabad and Ghaziabad, do not meet BS-VI emission standards.
Delhi HC exempts lawyers, court staff in NCR from ban on non-BS VI vehicles
The Delhi High Court on Friday said lawyers and court staff would be exempted from the travel restriction imposed on non-Delhi-registered pre-BS-VI vehicles by the city administration. Justice Amit Mahajan passed the order on a petition by the Delhi High Court Bar Association (DHCBA). The judge said the exemption would be applicable on court working days. Citing pollution concerns, the Delhi government had, on June 23, decided to ban the entry of all outside motor vehicles that do not meet BS-VI emission standards into the capital from November 1 to January 31. DHCBA's petition sought directions seeking exemption for vehicles lawfully used by advocates residing in the NCR and travelling to Delhi for bona fide professional duties. The DHCBA president, senior advocate N Hariharan, submitted that a large number of advocates travelled to courts in Delhi from NCR regions, which includes Gurugram, Faridabad, Noida and Ghaziabad, for performing judicial functions, and therefore, thei

Western disturbance may change weather across India; pollution remains severe
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 5 (IANS) Weather conditions in Delhi-NCR could witness another change next week as a fresh western disturbance has become active over northern India, including Delhi, Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). The weather system is expected to influence conditions across several northern states, although its impact on the plains is likely to remain limited. The western disturbance may bring scattered light rainfall and snowfall to the hilly regions of Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh. However, the plains are unlikely to receive any rainfall until November 8, with predominantly dry weather conditions expected to prevail across the region. Meanwhile, air pollution continues to remain a major concern across Delhi-NCR, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) reaching alarming levels in several cities. Delhi recorded an AQI of 463, while Noida registered 456 and Greater Noida reported 426. The pollution situation in Gurugram and other major cities across the National Capital Region has also remained severe, with AQI levels crossing the 400 mark. In another weather development, Cyclone Murasu, which originated over the Bay of Bengal, has weakened after crossing the Andhra Pradesh coast. Despite the weakening of the system, rainfall activity is expected to continue in parts of southern India, particularly Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala, until November 8. The IMD has indicated that the weather over Delhi-NCR will remain largely clear over the coming days, accompanied by windy conditions. Temperatures are expected to remain relatively moderate, with the maximum temperature in Delhi likely to range between 27 and 30 degrees Celsius, while the minimum temperature may settle between 14 and 18 degrees Celsius. As temperatures begin to decline further next week, cold conditions are expected to intensify, accompanied by a possible increase in fog during the morning hours. Meanwhile, rainfall activity is likely to continue over parts of southern India due to the cyclonic system over Lakshadweep, coastal Karnataka and southern Tamil Nadu. Light to moderate rainfall is expected across Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Kerala, Mahe and Karaikal until November 8. While southern states are likely to witness continued wet weather, northern plains, including Delhi-NCR, are expected to remain largely dry until November 8.
