Let ISRT J&K Chapter,first seek clear clarification from state Allied heathcare council SAHPC and The Jammu & Kashmir Services Selection Board (JKSSB) on whether this is meant only for Radiotherapy or also includes Radiodiagnosis. Once clarified, we will inform everyone.

That said, the absence of a clear, separate policy for two distinct professions is a serious concern. This ongoing ambiguity cannot continue under NCAHP act 21,If the issue is not addressed properly, we will all have to take a strict and united stand.
