Nationwide strike of doctors on June 25: IMA

June 24, 2012

Jaipur, June 24: Medical services in Rajasthan are likely to remain paralysed on June 25 when doctors affiliated to IMA will go on a daylong nationwide strike to protest the proposed amendments to acts related to clinical establishment and private practice.

"Private hospitals, consulting chambers, diagnostic centres, clinics, nursing homes will remain closed on June 25," Indian Medical Association's state honorary Secretary Dr SS Agrawal told reporters on Saturday.

Government doctors will wear black ribbon around their arms on duty as a sign of protest, he said.

The Central government is also trying to amend certain Acts related to clinical establishment and private practice which is likely to adversely affect the profession, he said.

"We will take out a rally and submit a memorandum addressed to Prime Minister to the district collector against the proposed amendments and other moves of the government, he said adding, the emergency services will remain unaffected during the strike.

"Delivery of service would become difficult for us after the proposed amendments which would help corruption flourish," Dr Vijay Kapoor, Secretary, Private Hospitals and Nursing Home Society, said.

Indian Air Force’s Tejas fighter jet crashes during Dubai air show

November 21,2025

An Indian Air Force (IAF) Tejas fighter jet crashed on Friday, November 21, afternoon during its aerial demonstration at the Dubai Air Show, plunging to the ground at around 2:10 pm local time while performing a manoeuvre before thousands of spectators.

The IAF confirmed the incident, stating that a Tejas aircraft participating in the show had crashed and that further details were being gathered. An Air Force spokesperson said more information would be shared after initial assessments.

The crash sent thick black smoke billowing into the sky near the airport, causing panic among visitors, including families and children who had gathered to watch the display. Authorities have not yet confirmed whether the pilot managed to eject before the aircraft went down. Emergency response teams rushed to the scene, and officials have not released information on casualties or damage so far.

The Tejas is a 4.5-generation, multi-role fighter aircraft developed indigenously by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL). Designed for versatility, it is capable of offensive air support, close combat, ground attack missions and maritime operations. The aircraft family includes single-seat fighters and twin-seat trainers for both the Air Force and Navy.

HAL describes the latest version, the LCA Mk1A, as the most advanced in the series, featuring an AESA radar, an upgraded electronic warfare suite with radar-warning and self-protection jamming, smart multifunction displays, a digital map generator, a combined interrogator–transponder system and a modern radio altimeter. These enhancements significantly improve the aircraft’s combat capability and survivability.

Further updates from IAF and UAE authorities are awaited.
