Pulwama, Feb 2 :

Authorities in Pulwama have shut down five unauthorized dental laboratories, including those in Murran and Main Town, for operating without valid licenses. The crackdown follows complaints regarding the unhygienic conditions and the employment of unqualified technical staff at these facilities.

Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Pulwama, Dr. Tehmena, told the news agency Kashmir News Trust that the action was taken after multiple complaints were received. She revealed that some of these labs were even operating out of residential houses, prompting officials to consider legal proceedings not only against the lab owners but also the landlords who provided them space.

Dr. Tehmena, however, refrained from disclosing the names of the sealed labs, citing concerns that publicizing them could lead to ‘chaos’. She emphasized that dental labs are responsible for manufacturing artificial teeth and dental covers, making it essential for them to meet hygiene and qualification standards.

She assured that further investigations are underway and that strict action will be taken against violators to ensure public health and safety. [KNT]
