Extending its support to the issue raised by Nagaland Optometric Association (NOA) on illegal optical shops run by unprofessionals, Dimapur Naga Students’ Union (DNSU) has asked the concerned authorities to verify and authenticate proper documents before giving registration to any associations.
In a press release, DNSU media cell stated that “such shops be immediately close down and trade licence be cancelled in total.”
It expressed shock to learn that for past many years, the public have been availing eye care services from such unprofessionals.
On the complaint received against an optical clinic that was running without proper certificates of practice in Dimapur, DNSU upon inquiry claimed that a self-styled union called “Optical Association of Dimapur interfered as a care taker of the optical clinics and tried to defend the defaulters.”
Upon inquiry, the union claimed that no executive members of “Optical Association of Dimapur” had a profession in the field of optics.
In this regard, DNSU reminded that such unprofessionals and self-styled associations would “never be allowed to function in its jurisdiction.”
