Many Bengalureans are going out of the city to get jabbed; locals complain they can’t get slots
With many Bengalureans heading out of the city to get their jabs, local politicians are now putting pressure on the Chief Minister to modify the algorithm in the
CoWIN app so that locals get a chance to get jabbed. This comes after many locals complained of not getting slots on the portal due to being technologically challenged. Many also do not have a smartphone to book a slot.

Many Bengalureans have been trekking to Tirumala to have a darshan of the diety on
Vaikunta Ekadashi, which falls on Friday. Every year, thousands make the 270-km journey for this occasion on their
personal vehicles,
public transport and even on their barefoot. Vishwanath G, who works in a city-based public sector, said, This year, we were apprehensive about walking all the way to Tirumala. However, after seeing a number of people already doing it, we decided to join them. His walking mate Mani KV, who works as a technician, said that though it may be tiring to walk for such a long distance, it is interesting.
