Authorities in Damoh, Madhya Pradesh, shut down three illegal medical clinics operating in the footera art locality and seized two batches of unapproved cartoon medicines.
Police officials in Damoh carried out a coordinated raid on three unlicensed medical clinics that were operating under the guise of footera art practitioners. The operation, described by local law‑enforcement as a crackdown on quackery, resulted in the sealing of all three premises and the arrest of several individuals suspected of providing false medical services.
During the search, officers uncovered two batches of so‑called "cartoon medicines"—colorful, child‑friendly packaged drugs that have no approval from the national drug regulator. These products were confiscated and sent to the state health department for further analysis.
The district health officer said the raid underscores the government's zero‑tolerance stance toward illegal medical practices that endanger public health. Officials warned that similar operations will continue across Madhya Pradesh to protect citizens from unverified treatments and counterfeit medicines.
