The State Cabinet has approved the proposal to place an ordinance to amend the A.P. Medical Practitioners Registration Act, 1968, making it optional for medical students to work for the government for a year before becoming licensed medical practitioners.

This is in response to the demand from the Junior Doctors Association to remove the condition of one-year government service.

It was learnt that Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu wanted officials of the Law Department to work out the modalities of payment of interim relief under court directions to the victims of the AgriGold scam, which is expected to cost up to Rs. 250 crore, and expressed displeasure at their lethargic attitude in dealing with the issue of auction of properties belonging to the defunct company.
