Out of the 100 wards in Madurai Corporation, 100% vaccination has been achieved in a few wards against COVID-19. In wards where people are reluctant, the cases were slightly increasing, said Corporation Commissioner K.P. Karthikeyan here on Thursday.
Speaking to The Hindu, the Commissioner said that most of the wards in urban parts of Madurai city had taken over 50 % vaccination (both the doses), while some among them (small wards) had almost reached 100 % vaccination.
The High Court of Karnataka on Friday directed the State government to file its statement of objections on an application filed by Bangalore Turf Club Ltd.
