Hyderabad: Stepping up its statewide campaign against illegal medical practices to safeguard public health, the Telangana Medical Council (TGMC) has intensified enforcement operations in Nagarkurnool and Mahabubnagar districts.

During recent inspections in Mahabubnagar, the Medical Council exposed multiple unauthorised operations, including Shifa Clinic, run by M A Areef, who holds only a Bachelor of Arts degree, at Masdus Nagar X Road; A K First Aid Center, operated by Mohd Abid Hussaini, who has a Class 10 qualification, at Doddalonipalli on Pillalamari Road; and Yadagiri Clinic, run by Yadagiri, who holds an Intermediate qualification, at Boyapally.

Following surprise inspections and the registration of police FIRs at Kalwakurthy Police Station on November 7, 2026, the Council formally approached the District Registering Authority (DRA) in Nagarkurnool.

The TGMC has sought immediate legal and administrative intervention against five local clinics, including K S Swamy Clinic, Dr BVK Life Care Poly Clinic, Sri Laxmi Clinic, Praneeth Clinic and Sri Vijaya Clinic, which are alleged to be providing modern medical treatments illegally. The Council has requested the authorities to seize or restrain these premises and submit a compliance report.

Led by TGMC Chairman Dr K Mahesh Kumar, along with inspection team members Dr Raghu Supreeth Reddy and Dr Puram Giri Raja, the Council has clamped down on unauthorised clinical establishments being operated by individuals without MBBS qualifications or valid medical registrations.

The Council has strongly appealed to the general public to refrain from seeking medical care from unqualified individuals and to verify practitioners’ credentials before undergoing treatment.
