The Maharashtra government will not remove Prime Minister Narendra Modis photograph from Covid-19 vaccination certificates, but the state should be allowed to design its own software application for registering citizens for inoculation, minister Nawab Malik said on Thursday.

In a video statement, the minority affairs minister said technical glitches in use of the Centres CoWIN app, the digital backbone of the nationwide vaccination drive, leading to difficulties in people registering themselves for getting jabs.

Vaccination is being carried after registration. The (CoWIN) app is crashing...we have demanded that the state be allowed to design its separate system (app) so that we can vaccinate people through it, he said. Malik, also the NCPs national spokesperson, said the Centre has not yet given permission to the state to develop its own application.
