London, May 1 (PTI) Serum Institute of India CEO Adar Poonawalla on Saturday spoke out about the pressures he was under over the production of COVID-19 vaccines to meet the ever-increasing demand in India as the country battles through a devastating second wave of the coronavirus pandemic.

Priyanka Gandhi alleged over 700 teachers died in Uttar Pradesh during the polls, including a pregnant woman who was forced to attend polling duty for the Panchayat elections.

In an exclusive interview, the former Congress chief alleged that the govt completely failed to tackle COVID-19 pandemic, right from the beginning, despite repeated warnings including from scientists.

The plea was filed by journalists Kishorechandra Wangkhemcha and Kanhaiya Lal Shukla.

Gujarat had everything going for it. A BJP ruled state, home turf of PM and HM. An industrialised state with automobile hubs, oil refineries, petro-chemical complexes. Yet it ran short of oxygen.

Court had made oral observations that ECI should probably be put up for murder charges for rallies held in violation of COVID-19 norms, and questioning what the Centre had been doing in past 14 months.

Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram said he was grateful to Supreme Court that it raised the issues of vaccine prices and compulsory licensing to vaccine makers and wondered how govt responds to it.

Amicus curiae, Rajshekhar Rao, highlighted harassment being faced by individuals at hands of police while procuring oxygen as well as scams going on in the name of COVID-19 medicines during hearing.

UP CM Yogi Adityanath had asked state administration to invoke the stringent National Security Act, 1980 against ‘people spreading rumours and trying to spoil the atmosphere’, the plea said.

Servers of the CoWIN app and website, the UMANG app and the Aarogya setu app crashed due to lakhs of people trying to access them.
