Rajkot: Rajkot deputy mayor Darshita Shah on Wednesday raised the issue of some miscreants charging money for providing tokens at Covid-19 vaccination centres. She alleged that people were standing in queue to get tokens and then selling them to others for money.
On Wednesday, Shah made a representation to the Rajkot municipal commissioner Udit Agrawal and asked him to investigate the matter.
All citizens above 45 years of age do not need to register online to take the covid vaccine. However, looking at the limited stocks of doses, RMC decided to inoculate 200 persons per day at each centre. The officials at the vaccination centre issue tokens to people standing in the queue every morning.
Rajkot: While the district administration claims that mortality due to Covid-19 was very low in Rajkot, another 24 persons admitted to various covid wards in city hospitals succumbed in 24 hours ending Wednesday morning. Also, on Wednesday, the waiting period for cremation at city crematoriums went up to minimum four hours.
This resulted in an altercation between the relatives of the deceased and the hospital administration, said sources.
According to sources, the high number of deaths in the covid wards of the city hospitals has disturbed the cremation process. Rajkot has four crematoriums and each has a separate arrangement for cremating bodies as per Covid-19 protocol.
