“Pune-based Serum Institute chief Adar Poonawalla will be provided “”Y category”” security across the country. The Union Home Ministry issued orders regarding this today after conducting a detailed threat assessment, sources said. “”Y category”” security involves the presence of 11 security personnel – one or two of them commandos and the rest policemen. Serum Institute has been much criticised after it announced the pricing of its Covishield vaccine to the states for the 18 to 45 age group – ₹ 400 a shot, way above the ₹ 150 price offered to the Centre.
