BMC denies suppressing COVID-19 death toll
The Hindu
The Supreme Court recently praised the BMC for managing the second wave of COVID-19 efficiently.
The Mumbai civic body has denied allegations of suppressing the COVID-19 death and infection figures and said it was recording the number of fatalities as per protocols laid down by the WHO and ICMR. BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis on Saturday accused the Shiv Sena-ruled Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) of under-reporting COVID-19 fatalities and “manipulating” the viral infection rate in the city. In a statement issued on Sunday, the BMC said it was completely transparent in reporting the number of COVID-19 fatalities and cases, and in conducting the tests.More Related News
