Patiala, March 26
Ahead of the wheat procurement season amid the rising Covid cases, the Patiala Deputy Commissioner (DC), Kumar Amit, today directed the District Marketing and Enforcement Officer and the District Food and Supply Controller to get staff of procurement agencies, market committees, arhtiyas, labourers, haulers, truck operators and farmers vaccinated at the earliest.
At a meeting with heads of various departments of the district to review the Covid vaccination drive in the district the DC said, "Vaccination is the only cure for the serious Covid disease."
The DC asked all heads to get vaccinated against Covid to allay fear of employees working in their respective departments regarding vaccine.
Evaluating arrangements for the inoculation of every person in above 45 years age group, starting from April 1, the DC added that the existing vaccination centres were increased from 78 to 126.
Besides, seven mobile teams had been constituted in the district for those, who wanted to get vaccinated in their respective areas/colonies, provided the minimum figure should not be less than 50, the DC said. The DC laid special emphasis on the vaccination of frontline workers of all departments.
The DC also instructed the staff of the Industries Department, district programme officer for Anganwadi workers, District Education Officer (Secondary and Primary) and school teachers to get inoculated against the virus.
Remember those who succumbed to Covid: DC
The Patiala Deputy Commissioner (DC), Kumar Amit, has appealed to residents in the district to observe silence from 11 am to 12 noon tomorrow to remember people, who lost battle with the coronavirus.
