Why Centre's Covid handling is a disaster and not all understand PM's Hindi speeches : Tamil Nadu FM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgUS7AsLFuo  Tamil Nadu’s finance minister Dr Palanivel Thiagarajan argues that the overcentralisation of power in Delhi, from demonetization to the current chaos over handling the pandemic, is one key reason why the Covid-19 pandemic is threatening to go out of control. Dr PTR, as he is widely known, believes that devolution and much better messaging is one answer out of this mess.

Notion of One India, One X is ridiculous. differentiation is all over.  One size fits all will not work..Kerala has devolved power to the local bodies..

Films: Netflix Seaspiracy

It was reported in April 2020 that the government of India will be compensating fishers in the country for the losses incurred ‘through direct benefit transfer to bank accounts’. But even after a two-month curfew on fishing activities, not one family at Worli Koliwada has received any benefits from the government, said fishermen. They added that the distribution of this state compensation was “haphazard and overdue”.

With COVID restrictions re-imposed by the Maharashtra government in April 2021, transportation and sale of seafood and storing ice have taken a hit again. With fewer restaurants and hotels running and more people buying fish online now, prices have also taken a dip.

Tying itself in knots-II
The more procedures and conditions you attach to the vaccinations, the more staff and time and dangerous movements at the vaccination centres. 

A very meticulous friend of mine in Bangalore got the virus and the only exposure he seemed to have was at the vaccination centre. Now if the goal is everyone above 18 is entitled to vaccine: then: why ave such painful procedures to re-check identities. Cant we go on "trust"? 

https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/india/to-get-vaccinated-in-up-proof-of-state-residency-required/articleshow/82540134.cms Even if a person is from out of State, wouldn't we all be safer if the person was vaccinated?  This State says that if Aadhaar is from outside the State, they need other domicile documents.. thus adding another layer perhaps because they feel that such an "infiltrator" from another State will not be contagious!  Perhaps they would want to used other notions like those who are not entitled to citizenship under CAA.. And therefore another layer of documents bureaucracy.. just for

Mumbai bold move to have drive in vaccinations..https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/videos/city/mumbai/covid-19-vaccine-mumbais-first-drive-in-vaccination-centre-opens-in-dadar-west/videoshow/82391895.cms

However, by asking for a driver, you have ensured that only those who have chauffeurs can use this facility. And more importantly you have double the number of people in the vaccination zone.  All you have to do is appoint a few parking valets, to drive you from the spot of vaccination to the lot for observation and then in case of distress to the nearest cab or ambulance!

Extract from Earlier post

The 'tied myself in knots' excuse. Just pass an ordinance, saying that the input tax credit, is still eligible for refund and may be adjusted in your advance Tex payment. And if there are cash flow issues find a way to get banks involved.  https://taxguru.in/goods-and-service-tax/fm-replies-mamata-banerjee-letter-pm-gst-exemption.html

The issue is not so much the tax exemption, it is the delay and bureacracy!

. Instead of an age criteria, the vaccination should have been prioritised for full families, in crowded areas in slums, and should have been planned in-situ. So how you had a containment policy you can have a "liberated" (vaccinationated) zone policy!

Aaditya Thackeray @AUThackeray
Looking at the need for adequate vaccines to ensure that vaccination is swift & efficient, after discussing the issue with CM Uddhav Thackeray ji, as guardian minister of Mumbai, we have asked @mybmc to explore possibilities of global procurement of vaccines. (1/n)

We are also working on a method to ensure that the non tech savvy citizens and those who can’t operate the CoWin app with ease, and for their access to vaccines in time. (2/n)

Our efforts to increase vaccination centres are constantly on going and the @mybmc shall be having a centre in every municipal ward, along with a drive in vaccination centre across all zones of Mumbai, on my humble request to @mayor_mumbai

Today the @mybmc has also issued guidelines for vaccination policy of housing societies partnering with hospitals for vaccination within society complexes. (4/n)

Des Ki Baat - May 10, 2021: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yecXqZMPzWE Bloated, decomposing bodies washed up this morning on the banks of Ganga at Bihar's Buxar in frightening new visuals that expose the scale of India's Covid crisis. Dozens of bodies were seen floating in the river at Chausa town - on Bihar's border with Uttar Pradesh -- and later piling up on the banks, to the horror of residents. People woke up early this morning to the grotesque sight and raised an alarm. The local administration believes the bodies floated down from Uttar Pradesh and belong to Covid patients whose relatives may have been unable to find space to cremate or bury them. (Audio in Hindi)
