A unique vaccination camp was held in Chakradharpur city in West Singhbhum district of Jharkhand where those taking the Covid-19 vaccine shot were given a litre of petrol free. This comes amid vaccine hesitancy among the tribals.
Monday’s camp was jointly organised by the city unit of the Marwari Yuva Manch (MYM) and Indian Oil Corporation (IOC). State women and child development and social security minister Joba Majhi inaugurated the camp in the presence of the West Singhbhum administration officials.
“We held this special vaccination drive in collaboration IOC. A total of 240 persons were given coupons for 1 litre free petrol after they got themselves vaccinated. The idea was to motivate people for inoculation,” Nitesh Kumar Bagaria, MYM-Chakradharpur, said on Tuesday.
