The Maharashtra government's campaign My Family, My Responsibility was intended to be a door-to-door survey but many residential societies across the city have been unwilling to allow health workers on their premises. With the drive's first phase set to conclude on Saturday, details about vitals and medical history of many residents have been added to the data without verification as many residents chose to fill the forms themselves, with no tests conducted.

In parts of Malad, health workers were not allowed to enter buildings. Assistant Municipal Commissioner Sanjog Kabare said that residents of Manori village are particularly resistant of the civic body's efforts. "People don't want to give their details and some are scared they will get infected by health workers conducting the survey. They want to maintain their distance. But this data will help monitor those with co-morbidities and will help the civic body plan the resources properly," he said.
