Nagpur/UNI: Senior BJP leader and former chief minister of Maharashtra Devendra Fadnavis on Saturday said a team of experts should be formed to probe the reasons for the surge in COVID-19 cases in Maharashtra.

Fadnavis was speaking to the media after attending a meeting with Nagpur Guardian Minister Nitin Raut and district officials at the divisional commissionerate here.

"As Maharashtra on Friday recorded 25,681 new coronavirus cases, I feel a team of experts should be constituted to study the causes of the surge in COVID-19 cases in the state" Fadnavis said.

"Maharashtra is no different from other states but still it is witnessing such a surge in infections, why?" Fadnavis asked.

The leader of opposition(LoP) in the state Assembly further raised concerns about the COVID-19 vaccination drive, saying that the immunisation process was being carried out at a slow pace and demanded that the pace must be increased to control the spread of the pandemic.
