Plea in Bombay High Court seeks door-to-door COVID-19 vaccination for people above 75 years

The petition filed by advocates Dhruti Kapadia and Kunal Tiwari stated that such persons may not be able to visit vaccination centres or may or may find it difficult to do so

A public interest litigation has been filed in the Bombay High Court seeking a direction to the Centre, Maharashtra government and Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to provide door-to-door COVID-19 vaccination for people above the age of 75 and those who are physically challenged or bed-ridden. The petition filed by advocates Dhruti Kapadia and Kunal Tiwari on Friday stated that such persons may not be able to visit vaccination centres or may or may find it difficult to do so. "It is the need of the hour for the Union government to start door-to-door vaccination so that senior citizens and specially-abled (both physical and mental) citizens are able to get the vaccine without having to leave their house," the plea said.
