Bihar’s vaccination drive has slowed down to a trickle because of lack of supplies, but the Nitish Kumar government that has the BJP as its dominant partner has been silent, showing nothing of the urgency the other states have been displaying while demanding increased supplies from the Centre.
The majority of the 38 districts of Bihar have been getting a meagre supply of vaccines since early last week, with no consignment having arrived from the Centre in the past two days, sources in the state government said.
