“We have always aimed at vaccinating one lakh a day, but have not been able to touch the target. I have therefore taken it up with the state government that we would like to begin the mass vaccination drive only once there is enough availability of vaccines for all,” BMC Commissioner I S Chahal told TOI.
Meanwhile, Mumbai is witnessing a plateaued COVID-19 graph with cases under 4000 being reported for almost a week now. Deaths in the city, however, have climbed up to 82 in the last 24 hours.
