With the clear message to shut shops of fake doctors in the city, the Pune Municipal Corporation’s (PMC) Commissioner, Kunal Kumar, has set target for every zone’s medical officer to nab at least two quacks per month. This means that, every month, the health department has to lodge complaints against eight fake doctors in the city — two for each city zone.

Tall order? The civic body’s commissioner, Kunal Kumar, has asked the four zonal medical officers to nab at least two quacks a month from their respective zones.

For the last five months, the PMC’s health department has been cracking its whip on quacks, with the department nabbing 16 of these ‘doctors’. However, the top official does not seem to be impressed with the numbers and has asked the department to pull up its socks.
