Suresh Kakani, additional municipal commissioner
People's voice was given a platform by VCAN, which stands for V Citizens Action Network, a city charitable trust concentrating on social and civic issues and providing a link between citizens and government authorities. The VCAN held a digital social sanchar or meet between citizens and Additional Municipal Commissioner (AMC) Suresh Kakani on 'The Covid Monsoon Season and Your Safety' late Tuesday evening.
Death rates
The meet, anchored by chairperson Indrani Malkani, opened with Kakani observing that the city was seeing a shift from a large number of cases in slum pockets to those in high-rises. "Our focus now is to bring down death rates. We are working on a programme called 'Save the Patient'. We are striving towards lessening the time gap in providing treatment to patients and addressing the issue of lives lost because of time wasted."
