Deputy CM urges Centre to ensure constant supply of doses
Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar on Friday said the Maharashtra government could vaccinate the State’s entire eligible population by August 31 if the Central government ensured consistent supply of vaccine doses. Mr. Pawar also alleged that the Centre had allotted more vaccines to the BJP-ruled Uttar Pradesh, while taking stock of the COVID-19 situation in Pune division. He said the State government was mulling resumption of classes at medical colleges with the caveat that students, and teaching and the non-teaching staff are fully vaccinated. He said he would be holding a meeting with Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and State Medical Education Minister Amit Deshmukh in this regard.More Related News
