In a major crackdown on quacks operating in the city, the Delhi Medical Council recently issued notices to 16 fake doctors asking them to close down their medical clinics. These doctors have been running a flourishing medical business in the city without a medical degree.
Copies of the letter issued to the quacks have also been sent to the area Deputy Commissioners of Police, Station House Officers and the Chief District Medical Officers to keep them updated of the situation.
According to an unofficial estimate, there are around 40,000 quacks operating in the city and despite sustained efforts by the DMC to curb the menace the problem persists.
