The Indian Medical Association has appealed to its 2.75 lakh doctor-members across India to give 25 per cent discount in doctor's fees for one week to all patients who visit them with their fingers bearing the voting ink mark.

The Bengal chapter of the IMA has gone one step ahead by appealing to doctors, based in the state, to give the 25 per cent discount in pathological tests too and that too for two weeks.

The IMA with a 86-year-old history behind it took the unusual initiative to raise awareness about the importance of voting.
