Tripura Issues Notices to 19 Unregistered Mental Health and Rehab Centres
The Tripura State Mental Health Authority has issued show-cause notices to 19 unregistered de-addiction and mental health rehabilitation centres, including the Swapna Foundation in Agartala, following concerns about illegal operations and patient safety. The centres are accused of lacking proper registration, infrastructure, trained staff, and security measures. The notices require responses within seven days, warning that failure to comply may lead to action under the Mental Healthcare Act, 2017. The Swapna Foundation is also linked to a recent incident involving the death of a patient and subsequent arrests.
