On Thursday, February 25, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray took cognisance of some netas in Thane jumping the queue to take vaccines. The state administration has ordered a probe in this matter and asked to take action if any irregularity was found, said Shiv Sena leader and parliamentary affairs minister Anil Parab.
The minister was speaking to the media after the state business advisory committee meeting at Vidhan Bhavan. He was questioned about Thane mayor Naresh Mhaske, legislator Ravindra Fatak, his son and a few corporators having taken the shots despite there being no mandate either from the state or Centre allowing netas to get themselves vaccinated.
Meanwhile, Mhaske accused BJP corporator Manohar Dumbre of politicizing the issue. Dumbre said he had informed Union minister, Dr Harsh Vardhan, about the out-of-turn vaccinations.
The chief minister has asked the administration to take action wherever rules were flouted in the vaccination drive, including Thane, Parab added. Moreover, he also stated that the Budget session of the Maharashtra legislature will be held from March 1 and 10, instead of four weeks. Due to a spurt in COVID-19 cases in Maharashtra, the Budget session has been curtailed, announced Anil Parab.
