HC hopes Centre will tell T.N. the number of vaccine doses it will get by Monday
The Madras High Court on Friday impressed upon the Centre the need for ensuring equitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, drugs and oxygen to all the States and Union Territories in the country. The court hoped that the Centre would inform the Tamil Nadu government and the Puducherry administration, at least by Monday, on the number of vaccine doses that would be allotted to them for the universal adult inoculation drive, set to begin from Saturday. Chief Justice Sanjib Banerjee and Justice Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy made the observation after Additional Solicitor General R. Sankaranarayanan sought time to submit the number of vaccine doses and Remdesivir vials that had been allocated by the Centre to Tamil Nadu and Puducherry. Advocate-General Vijay Narayan said though the State government had ordered 2.5 lakh vials of Remedesivir, only 59,000 had been allotted so far.
