Mumbai, May 12
The Bombay High Court on Wednesday said if the Union government had started a door-to-door vaccination programme for senior citizens a few months back, then lives of many of them, including prominent persons, could have been saved.
A division bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice G S Kulkarni asked the Union government why not pro- actively start this programme when the lives of senior citizens, who are unable to go to vaccination centres to get inoculated, are concerned.
The bench was hearing a public interest litigation filed by two lawyers Dhruti Kapadia and Kunal Tiwari seeking door-to-door vaccination facility for senior citizens above the age of 75, specially-abled persons and those who are bed-ridden or wheelchair-bound.
