An over enthusiastic corporator's poster for the 'My family, my responsibility' campaign has created a controversy, as it not only talks about the importance of healthy eating, wearing a mask, social distancing, etc. but has also given names of medicines prescribed for treatment of COVID-19. The IMA has strongly objected to the poster.
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has started implementing the campaign with the help of corporators and MLAs. Several corporators have also taken the initiative for awareness among residents. In one such attempt, corporator from Dahisar, Sujata Patekar, created and circulated a poster on WhatsApp, which mentions the medicines used to treat COVID-19. The poster has pictures of Shiv Sena leaders along with her. The medicines featured include those used to treat breathlessness, fever, throat pain/runny nose and cough.
