In what could prove to be risky and might defeat the purpose of a double vaccination certificate, employees of smaller municipal bodies like Kasara, Palghar at railway stations seem confused as commuters complained most of them were seen just manually noting down jab certificate numbers with not many scanners and apps in place. 

“This could be very risky as it would encourage fake travel. At Palghar, they only note down basic details like name, Aadhaar number and vaccination date. There is no process to check if a vaccine certificate is genuine or not. Anyone can make a fake certificate and get it stamped here,” said local commuter activist Himanshu Vartak.
