BENGALURU: Indian drug maker Dr Reddy s Laboratories Ltd said on Friday it expects to get 36 million doses of Sputnik V Covid-19 vaccine in the next couple of months under its contract with Russia s sovereign wealth fund.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi sounded the alarm over the rapid spread of the coronavirus through India s vast countryside on Friday as the official tally of infections crossed 24 million, and 4,000 people died for the third straight day.

The outbreak is reaching rural areas with great speed, Modi said, addressing a group of farmers in a virtual conference. I want to once again warn all farmers and all those who live in villages about corona.
