BPP BOL

The Surat Parsi Punchayet has moved the Gujarat High Court to allow Covid victims, to be consigned to a Dokhma at their Doongerwadi. To see if the Bombay Parsi Punchayet (BPP) was doing the same we contacted Trustee Viraf Mehta.

He informed us that he has already tabled this item on the agenda for their meeting on Tuesday, May 25, and is hopeful the BPP will follow in the footstep of the Surat Parsi Punchayet.

Trustee Viraf Mehta also informed us that in anticipation of a positive outcome, a Dokhma ONLY for covid victims is being looked into as well.

With regards to the vaccines for the community, Trustee Viraf Mehta informed us that the Parsi General Hospital has got a fresh stock of vaccines and vaccination for 45+, after registration, begins from Monday, May 24. Hence the BPP vaccination drive for senior citizens will begin from Monday as well.

Trustee Viraf Mehta also mentioned that he will be looking into a possibility of a tie-up between the BPP and Parsi General Hospital for obtaining slots to vaccinate 18+ as and when additional vaccines are made available.
