Glitches In CoWIN App Halt COVID Vaccination Drive In Maharashtra

As the Centre made it mandatory to register online for COVID-19 vaccination, Maharashtra has dropped the vaccination drive till January 18 due to glitches in the CoWIN application. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on January 16 issued a statement mentioning the Centre is working to resolve the "technical problems" in the app. However, the Centre had allowed the authorities to go for offline registration for the first day (January 16).
