The Dhanbad district administration has ordered fuel outlets to refill only to people who show a proof of Covid-19 vaccination, a move meant to ramp up inoculation in the coal hub of Jharkhand which is lagging behind.
On Sunday, Dhanbad additional district magistrate (law and order) Kumar Tarachand said the initiative has been done to enforce complete vaccination.
“It would be mandatory for all vehicle owners to show proof of their vaccination to get a refill of fuel from the retail outlets. The directive has been sent to all the fuel outlets in this connection. Apart from fuel outlets, we will also be checking vaccination certificates of fuel refill outlets staff, street vendors and public transport drivers,” said Tarachand.
