NOTICE To augment bed capacity, BMC set to rebuild jumbo facility at Race Course Two more dolphin carcasses found on Mumbai beaches Court denies bail to producer who attacked actor, says he had ‘every intention to kill her’ EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE MUMBAI, APRIL 29 THREE DAYS after a humpback dolphin's carcass washed up at Cuffe parade, two more dolphin carcasses were found in Mumbai, on Thursday. The carcasses of two ocean humpback dolphins, 4-ft and 5-ft in length, washed ashore at Reti-bunder in Mahim and Haji Ali respectively on Thursday morning. “The cause of the death will be cleared af- ter the autopsy,” said an official from the Mangrove Foundation. Dolphins are endangered aquatic mammals, protected under Schedule I of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972. In the recent past, dolphin sightings have in- creased along the city's coastline. A carcass of a 7-ft humpback dolphin had washed ashore at the beach in Cuffe Parade on Monday. Following complaints from residents, the range forest officer and volunteers from the state forest de- partment’s mangrove cell visited the spot. Last July, an 8-ft-long humpback dolphin had washed ashore Bhayander. EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE MUMBAI, APRIL 29 THE BMC has floated a tender to set up a jumbo Covid care centre at Mahalaxmi Race Course as part of its attempt to augment bed capacity. The dedicated Covid health care facility will have a total 457 beds, including 200 ICU and the rest oxygen beds. The BMC had last year built a similar facility at the same spot. It was later dismantled as not many patients were using the fa- cility. The new centre will be spread over 1500 sqm and built at a cost of Rs 50 crore. The BMC has said that once it finalises a contractor, it expects the facility to come up in a month's time af- ter the contract is awarded. “This facility will have more ICU beds. It can be useful for the next wave of Covid-19. We are hopeful of finalising the contrac- tor by mid-May," said an official from the Health Infrastructure Cell (HIC) department. The contractor will also be re- sponsible for operation and maintenance of the centre for three months once it is ready. Currently, there are six jumbo Covid centres with capac- ity of about 9,000 beds. The BMC is planning to set up three more jumbo Covid-19 facilities at Malad, Kanjurmarg and Sion in one month. Officials said this will add about 5,000 beds. Earlier in the day, indicating that the situation in Mumbai is getting better, Municipal Commissioner I S Chahal said that vacant beds in Mumbai have increased from 3900 to 5500 in the last three days. Mumbai has a total of 21,761 beds in 172 hospitals and Covid care facilities. "On Thursday, Mumbai recorded 4634 cases with 38,500 tests conducted. The city's positivity rate is now 11%," said Chahal. Last year, in July, a jumbo Covid centre with capacity of 900 beds was set up in Mahalaxmi with the help of CSR funds. However, by the time con- struction was completed, Covid- 19 cases had started dipping in the city and the facility was not utilised at all. Officials said that another big reason for dismantling the facil- ity was construction flaws. "During the monsoon, water had entered the centre. There were some operational issues also. So it was decided to shut down the facility," said an official from the BMC. Last week, The Indian Express had reported that Andheri and JogeshwariinKWestward,which have witnessed a spike in Covid- 19cases,willbegettingtwomore dedicatedfacilitieswith260beds, 130 of them having oxygen sup- port. The facilities are set to get functional by May first week. Assistant Municipal Commissioner Vishwas Mote said,“Thefacilitiesareexpectedto bereadybythefirstweekof May.” SANJANA BHALERAO MUMBAI, APRIL 29 DUE TO non-availability of vac- cines, all 136 vaccination centres in Mumbai will remain shut till May 2. “For next three days, all vaccination centres will be shut. We are trying to vaccinate all those waiting in line at these cen- tres on Thursday. By evening, the vaccine stock depleted. If we re- ceive the fresh stock, the vaccina- tion drive will be restored in a day's notice,” said Suresh Kakani, additional municipal commis- sioner. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has said if it receives the vaccine stockpile, the information on vac- cine resumption will be dissem- inated through media/social me- dia in advance. To control the crowd and ser- pentine queues outside the cen- tres, the BMC now has discontin- ued the walk-in facility at the centres. In the event of technical snag in registering, the civic body has asked beneficiaries to take assistance from NGOs to register on the CoWIN application before thronging outside centres. People in the past com- plained that the CoWIN applica- tion keeps crashing. “In future, only registered eligible persons will be vaccinated,” said the BMC. The civic body has urged peo- ple not to panic and assured that those eligible will get both the vaccine doses. “People in the age group of 45 years and above should not have the misconcep- tion that they will not get the vac- cine once the drive opens for the 18 to 44 years age group. Even if the scope of vaccination is in- creased, priority will be given to citizens aged 45 years and above,” read a statement, re- leased by the BMC, on Friday. On receiving 70,000 doses of Covishield late on Wednesday night, the BMC opened 66 gov- ernment-run centres on Thursday afternoon for those coming for the second dose. Till 2 pm on Thursday, 28,782 shots were administered at 66 of the total 136 immunisation centres that were open on Thursday. The day's drive depleted the entire vaccine stock of the BMC. The civic body earlier on Wednesday said it would not carry out vacci- nation on Thursday due to the non-availability of vaccines. Amid fear of non-availability of vaccines, long queues were witnessed outside Nesco in Goregaon, Bhagwati Hospital and BKC jumbo centre on Friday afternoon. The BMC had received its last big stock – 1.58 lakh doses – on Sunday night. It had then said the stock will last only till Wednesday. On Wednesday night, it received 70,000 doses. “While the vaccine is a shield against coronavirus, vaccine cen- tres could turn out to be super- spreaders as no social distancing is being followed,'' said Mumbai Mayor Kishori Pednekar. Pednekar asked citizens not to crowd the centres. “Those who have taken their first dose are ‘reasonably pro- tected’ and should not panic if there is a slight delay in getting the second dose,” said Ashwini Bhide, additional municipal commissioner, in a series of tweets asking people to take pre- cautionary measures such as wearing double masking and maintaining social distancing. Meanwhile, the BMC on Friday said the vaccination drive in Mumbai for the age group 18 to 44 will start only after enough vaccines are available, and not necessarily on May 1. It added that the 227 vaccination centres in each electoral ward will func- tion from mid-May. The civic body has started the process to identify the location for new cen- tres and recruit additional staff. Bhide added, “The BMC will add 500 more public and private centres for the new drive. So that the vaccination process for those above 45 years is not compro- mised or slowed down.” After the Maharashtra gov- ernment announced that vacci- nation for all above 18 years of age will be free of cost at the civic- run and government centres, Municipal Commissioner I S Chahal on Wednesday said those above 18 years will receive their vaccination at the new 227 gov- ernment-run vaccination centres in the city. Till date, the BMC has admin- istered the first dose of vaccine to 19.51 lakh people and the second dose to 4.76 lakh. EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE MUMBAI, APRIL 29 A SESSIONS court has rejected bail to a producer who had allegedly stabbed a television actor mul- tiple times after she refused his advances. Yogesh Singh has been in jail for six months after the ses- sions court rejected his earlier bail plea, too. According to the prosecution, on October 26, the accused accosted the victim on a road and tried to talk to her but she refused. Singh then allegedly took out a knife and assaulted her 3-4 times on her abdomen, hand and back. "Needless to say that the applicant/accused has assaulted the complainant over the vital part in which his abdomen etc and tried to give more blows but she tried her level best to avoid the same in which she sustained the injuries to her hands but any how she succeeded to restrain the accused to give blows to her vital parts otherwise the pres- ent applicant/accused was every intention to kill the complainant," the court said. It said that there is every possibility that the accused may fulfil his intention and tamper with the evidence if released on bail. The court had rejected Singh's earlier bail plea in December. He has been booked under charges including 307 (attempt to murder) and 354D (stalking) of the Indian Penal Code. In her statement to the police last year, the ac- tor said “she received a friend request from Singh on Facebook in 2019”. They even met three-four times at a coffee shop, she told the police, after which Singh kept insisting that she marry him. She told the police that Singh kept following her after she turned down his proposal. On October 26, at 9 pm, when she was walking towards her residence in Andheri, the accused ar- rived in his car and insisted that she talk to him. As she ignored him, Singh took out a knife from his pocket and stabbed, her police statement said. People wait for vaccination at VD Savarkar Hospital in Mulund.
