The lobby promoting this type of treatment were the same lobby which opposed ECT a much safer and easier way to treat depression and much more effective and cheaper especially in India. The Drug MNCs purchased the medical fraternity through Human rights lawyers and killed the cheap ECT treatment in some cases using even UNCRPD. Now the same human rights lawyers will hail this treatment as a great boon!!!!

I agree with you. this is similar to CWG allotment of funds(not corruption) like for Kaveri engine, moon mission instead of reliable engines for launch
