Say the testing workers every fortnight is ‘untenable’ and does not have a ‘scientific basis’
Industry bodies have objected to the Maharashtra government making RT-PCR test mandatory every 15 days for industry, trade and services.

For half the cost, we can vaccinate all,” tweeted Sudhir Mehta, President of Mahratta Chamber of Commerce Industries and Agriculture (MCCIA).
