Private dialysis centres in Gujarat have halted their services for three days to protest against the state governments decision to reduce reimbursement rates paid to them under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojna (PM-JAY) scheme. Private centres account for almost 80% of the 1.30 crore dialysis treatments carried out annually in the state under PMJAY.
Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel has said his government will study the possibility of a system making parental approval mandatory in love marriages if it is constitutionally feasible.
