Ten days after vials containing a minimum of 40 doses of a Covid vaccine– missing from a vaccination center in Maharashtra’s Thane district– were found at a hair transplant clinic, no case has been registered against those suspected to be involved within the matter, officials said.
On August 14, some Mumbra residents complained that Covid vaccine doses were missing from the vaccination center situated near Kausa stadium. daily soon August 15, some Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) officials found 40 vaccine doses at a neighborhood hair transplant clinic. The clinic was sealed immediately and therefore the civic body said it had begun an investigation into the incident.
A week ago, Thane mayor Naresh Mhaske instructed TMC officials to register a complaint against concerned officials and also the hair transplant clinic where the vials were found. However, the police and civic officials are busy in a very blame game.
The police said they’re awaiting certain clarifications from the municipality.
“The day after a complaint was given by the TMC we sent a letter with some questions regarding the incident to TMC; however we’ve got not received any reply from them yet. we want to know what ensued at the vaccination center and when the civic officials reached the clinic to seize the vaccine vials. this may help in our investigation,” Madhukar Kad, senior police inspector of Mumbra station house, said.
Thane mayor Mhaske claimed they were still “in talks” with the police over the problem.
“We are in talks with the Mumbra police regarding the incident and shall learn about the delay in filing an FIR by the TMC,” Mhaske said.
