Ulhasnagar, May 12: A Social Activist from Ulhasnagar has written a complaint to the Dr. Raja Dayanidhi, Commissioner of Ulhasnagar Municipal Corporation (UMC) alleging illegality and mismanagement in the vaccination drive process.
Sarita Khanchandani, a social activist and president of Hiralal foundation, in a letter to the commissioner, said: âThe politicians and contractors are misusing their power to get vaccinated before everyone else.â We are asking this question because we have information that several corporators were vaccinated inside the UMC Headquarters, alleged Khanchandani.
She explained how the authorities are making citizens stand in queue for hours and then send them back without inoculating them.
