RANCHI: Jharkhand health minister Banna Gupta’s claim of conducting a death audit to counter the Centre’s announcement that no Covid deaths were reported for lack of oxygen has hit a hurdle.
Gupta had said that the state government was conducting a death audit of Covid-19 victims but has made no headway as the districts are yet to collect the data.
Launching an all-out attack against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Gupta on Friday held the Prime Minister responsible for the deaths of Covid patients for want of oxygen. “PM is solely responsible but former Union health minister Harsh Vardhan was made a scapegoat. The public will not accept this as most of the deaths happened due to shortage of oxygen,” Gupta said.

RANCHI: The vaccination drive in Jharkhand is likely to pick up pace on Tuesday after two days of disruption with the state receiving 257,000 doses on Monday afternoon.
The inoculation drive was partially suspended on Saturday and Sunday as the vaccine stock had run dry on Friday evening.
According to the state health department, a record 18,111 people were administered vaccines on Sunday, leaving a total of 38,700 doses for Monday.
However, the drive was affected on Monday morning too as session sites ran dry of stocks within a couple of hours after it started.
