EXPLOITING A TECHNICAL LOOPHOLE

■ The centre had the licence to function as a diagnostic facility only. But it was training around 400 people on ultrasound machines without approval

■ In December, the centre was sealed and 13 ultrasound machines were seized

■ It resumed courses in January this year but without practical demonstrations

■ Officials say since it does not promises a degree and uses only videos and presentations, like a tuition class, it cannot be classified as illegal

Hindustan Times had reported that the Centre was training students to operate ultrasound machines illegally. It resumed courses last month.
