The Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) has suspended Dr Chandan Pandit from Airoli civic hospital following a first information report (FIR) filed against him after six patients lost their vision.

The NMMC issued the order on Tuesday, directing that the eye specialist should not practice anywhere until the investigation is complete. The order further stated that if Dr Pandit is found practising, strict legal action will be taken. It also clarified that the suspension will remain in force until the completion of the investigation.
