Abohar/Sriganganagar, July 4
Even as the region was lashed by unpredicted heavy rain and hailstorm, which disrupted power supply in most of the colonies, besides two dozen villages in Abohar, the target to inoculate 5,000 eligible persons was achieved here today.
“With this, the health department in Abohar has vaccinated about 46,000 people so far,” Senior Medical Officer Dr Gagandeep Singh said. In the past five days, vaccination stayed suspended as there was no fresh supply of vaccine.
Sangria in Hanumangarh recorded 60mm rain, but health workers set a record of vaccinating 31,228 persons at 179 centres. Chief Medical Health Officer Dr Navneet Sharma said just a day earlier 27,330 doses of vaccine were received from the state headquarters. Sriganganagar received fresh supply from Bikaner and 20,000 people were administered vaccine at 84 centres despite rainfall. — OC
