Punjab Withdraws Order To Supply Vaccines To Private Hospitals Amid Row | Read
The Punjab government on Friday evening withdrew an order providing "one time limited vaccine doses to 18-44 age group population through private hospitals", after allegations by the opposition Akali Dal - which said it was "diverting" Covaxin doses at "hefty margins" - sparked a political row. A brief letter - signed by Vikas Garg, the state-in-charge for vaccination - said the order "has not been taken in the right spirit and is hereby withdrawn".
