Approve Civic Body's Plan To Re-Vaccinate Fake Inoculation Camp Victims: High Court To Centre

The Bombay High Court has said that the Centre should have no objection to looking into the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's plan.

The Bombay High Court on Friday directed the Union government to approve the proposed plan of action of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to re-vaccinate those citizens, who had fallen victim to several fake anti-coronavirus vaccination camps in different parts of the city a few months ago. A bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice GS Kulkarni directed the Centre to approve the Mumbai civic body's plan of action, "with or without modifications, within seven days" from now. The directions came after senior counsel Anil Sakhre, who appeared for the BMC, told the High Court that it had re-vaccinated 161 of the 2,053 people, who had fallen victim to such fake camps. Mr Sakhre had told the high court earlier this month that the victims had been administered saline water instead of the anti-COVID-19 vaccine.
