The Bombay High Court today said the Union government's allocation of Amphotericin-B appeared to be irrational, and the supply to Maharashtra was not adequate considering the number of cases in the state.
After Maharashtra informed that 82 people died of mucormycosis in Maharashtra in the last three days, a division bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice G S Kulkarni at Mumbai asked Advocate General Ashutosh Kumbhakoni to find out if delay in the administration of necessary drugs led to these fatalities.
MUMBAI: Bombay high court on Wednesday said that the Centre’s approach against Covid-19 should be like a surgical strike instead of standing at the borders waiting for the virus to come out.
A bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice G S Kulkarni said the Central government s ‘Near to home’ vaccination scheme was like waiting for the virus carrier to come to the centre.
“You will admit that Corona is your biggest enemy. It may be residing in certain areas or certain persons who cannot approach the centre (CVC). Your approach should be like a surgical strike,’’ the bench said.
