    What's the story

    Amid an acute shortage of vaccines, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday asked the Centre to buy vaccines and distribute them to the state governments and said this is not the time for blame game and petty politics.

    The Chief Minister further stated that if new infections continue to decline, more activities will be allowed to open up in the city.

    Vaccination drive

    Not the time for blame game: Kejriwal

    Asked about the politicization of the issue of vaccine procurement, Kejriwal said the Delhi government just wants vaccines.

    "The central government should procure vaccines, and distribute them to the state governments. We will administer them to everyone," he said.

    "This is not the time for finger-pointing. The experience of the entire world shows that vaccination is the sole solution," he added.

    Lockdown

    Delhi will start 'unlocking' from Monday

    The process of lifting the lockdown gradually in the capital will begin from Monday, starting with a resumption of construction activities and the reopening of factories for a week, Kejriwal had announced on Friday.

    The phase-wise unlocking process in Delhi will begin after over six weeks of lockdown.

    "We want the economic activities back on track so that the economy can revive," Kejriwal said.

    Black fungus

    Delhi government has declared black fungus an epidemic

    The Delhi government has floated a global expression of interest (EOI) for the procurement of the COVID-19 vaccine on an urgent basis.

    Kejriwal said the government is making all efforts from their side but till now the outcomes have not been very fruitful.

    Meanwhile, amid rising incidents of black fungus in the national capital, the Delhi government had on Thursday declared it an epidemic.
