After test drive, activists claim illegalities afoot
Since vaccinations opened up for the 18-44 age group from May 1, several citizens are unable to find slots on CoWIN. Many complained that slots fill up within minutes of opening. Amidst chaos, a sting operation by city-based health activists revealed grave malpractice in slot bookings. They exposed that due to some prior ‘setting’, slots for different centres get filled 20-30 minutes before opening to public 8 pm of the previous day.
Jan Arogya Abhiyaan (JAA) members found slots meant for May 10 completely filled around 7.40 pm on May 9. They have now raised this issue with the state government, demanding action against this “corrupt practice” keeping needy citizens out of the drive.

The state government had just days ago, on April 21, once again revised its standard operating procedures (SOPs) to strictly contain the spread of the novel coronavirus, amid the alarming toll of the COVID-19 second wave. These orders include allowing only a maximum of 20 people during funerals and a cap of 25 guests at weddings. Before this, the authorities had already banned political meetings, rallies, morchas and protests for the time being, as these attract large gatherings.
