#Accelerationism#Maharashtra contests Centre data, says no dist with <50% vax coverage

#Accelerationism#Mumbai: A day after six districts from Maharashtra came under Centre’s scanner for less than 50% single dose coverage, district and state officials contested the numbers saying that there were no districts with less than 50% vaccination of adult population. PM Narendra Modi is scheduled to hold a review meeting with these six districts to discuss why their coverage was below the national average (78%).

The Centre said that 48 districts in the country have not vaccinated even 50% of their adult population. From Maharashtra were Aurangabad (46.5%), Nandurbar (46.9%), Buldhana (47.6%), Hingoli (47.8%), Nanded (48.4%) and Akola (49.3%). The state on Monday held a preparatory meeting to discuss what their responses would be when Modi interacts with local officials on Wednesday.
