Many hotels have begun tying up with hospitals and offering packages involving vaccination against Covid-19 to lure guests. However, when Mayor Kishori Pednekar visited one such hotel on Sunday, she found vaccination storage norms being violated.

Pednekar made a surprise visit to Lalit Hotel in Andheri east near the airport and found it was violating Covid-19 vaccination guidelines. Pednekar said that the five-star hotel was offering a vaccination package without following the protocol of appropriate storage for the vaccines. She also claimed that the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) was not informed about the hospital and hotel tie-up. According to BMC guidelines, the entity holding the drive has to inform them about it.
