NEW VACCINE POLICY HOLLOW, REGRETTABLE SHOW OF EVASION: BENGAL CM West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee wrote to PM Modi, stating that the Centre’s new vaccine policy was “hollow,
without substance and a regrettable show of evasion of responsibility”. Banerjee reminded the PM that she had, in a letter dated 24 February, requested his intervention to allow Bengal
purchase vaccines directly with state resources and give free vaccination to people of the state. She further wrote: Banerjee added that the required vaccines are not currently available in
the market and requested steps to ensure their availability at the earliest. _(With inputs from ANI and PTI)_
