Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday congratulated newly-elected Japan Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga.

Taking to Twitter, PM Modi said, "Heartiest congratulations to Excellency Yoshihide Suga on the appointment as Prime Minister of Japan @kantei. I look forward to jointly taking our Special Strategic and Global Partnership to new heights. @sugawitter"

Yoshihide Suga was formally elected Wednesday as Japan's new Prime Minister in a parliamentary vote.

Suga is replacing Shinzo Abe, who resigned earlier in the day because of ill health. Suga had been chosen as leader of the ruling party on Monday, virtually assuring his succession.

Suga, who was chief Cabinet secretary and long seen as Abe's right-hand man, is to launch his own Cabinet later Wednesday.

Suga has stressed his background as a farmer's son and a self-made politician in promising to serve the interests of ordinary people and rural communities.

Private hospitals start protest against Covid rate curbs

NAGPUR: Representatives of many private hospitals in city visited Indian Medical Association (IMA) office on Tuesday and surrendered the registration papers of their respective hospitals with the apex body of the private medical practitioners. This was part of the protest by private doctors against the increasing curbs on private hospitals regarding Covid treatment that make them unaffordable to operate.
“Hospital owners have submitted copies of their hospital registration to IMA Nagpur. Together, we will collect these papers and then request the state government to take over and run these hospitals. It’s not possible to run hospitals at the rates forced on us,” said Dr Archana Kothari, president of IMA Nagpur.
“On one side the unaffordable rates have been forced on the doctors and on the other doctors are being prosecuted by sending auditors even if there is any minor mistake in the bills. At the same time, ministers and leaders have continuously been proclaiming that doctors are robbing patients. Because of this unjust criticism, the doctors are losing their confidence,” she added.
As next phase of the protest, doctors may go into ‘self-quarantine’ if their demands are not addressed.
“Just as many leaders and government officials in Maharashtra have themselves ‘self-quarantined’, it is time for us doctors to be ‘self-quarantined’, as a mass movement. The separation period may range from one day to 14 days,” reads an official release by the IMA.
As a final step, doctors will be filing a petition in the Bombay high court against this unilateral, unjust decision that tramples the values of democracy, said the IMA.
