MUMBAI: Several corporators who have got the BMC to start vaccination centres in their respective wards are ensuring maximum local residents get the jabs on the three days when walk-in is allowed.
Currently, the BMC allows walk-in vaccination on three days of the week Monday to Wednesday only for senior citizens, lactating mothers and those aged above 45 years who have to be administered the second vaccine dose.
Kalina corporator Tulip Miranda said the purpose of pursuing the BMC to start a vaccination centre within their ward was solely to benefit local residents.
“I daily send out detailed messages on the number of vaccine doses that the BMC allocates to the centre. I am also following up with the BMC to allocate a session, if possible, for any infirm person who may be above 18 years old,” said Miranda.

Surat: A group of residents in Parvat Patia area of the city gathered at Madhav Baug rivulet bridge on Saturday afternoon when a team of Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) reached there to inform that the bridge will be demolished. Locals started protesting against the demolition of the old bridge before a new one is constructed. Some residents in the area were in favour of demolition of the old bridge.
A team of SMC officials and elected representatives visited the location recently when locals complained about water logging in the area. A survey found that due to the Madhav Baug bridge, water from the rivulet gets blocked leading to waterlogging in the area. “The level of the bridge is low and it is a private bridge constructed by the developer in the area. It is blocking the rivulet water leading to waterlogging in the area,” said an officer in Limbayat zone, SMC.
