The Indian Medical Association (IMA) Maharashtra unit threatened a statewide strike if the state government registers homeopathy practitioners holding the Certificate Course in Modern Pharmacology (CCMP) before a Bombay High Court ruling. The IMA urged the government to pause the registration process until the court's decision on August 13 and 14, citing a lack of statutory framework for dual registration. The association argued that the abolition of the compulsory MBBS bond service diminishes the need for the CCMP pathway.
