Arunachal Pradesh chief minister Pema Khandu on Saturday called for strict adherence to the Covid-19 protocol and urged all eligible people to get vaccinated.
He convened two virtual meetings with MLAs and corporators, councillors and zilla parishad members to review the Covid-19 situation. The meetings, conceptualised and chaired by governor Brig (Rtd) B D Mishra, laid special focus on five districts — Lower Dibang Valley, Papum Pare, Namsai, East Siang and West Kameng — that have recently witnessed a spike in new cases.
He assured people that the vaccines provided by the government are safe and effective.
“We have vaccinated around 1.35 lakh people so far but cases are increasing rapidly and elected representatives must encourage more people to get vaccinated besides creating awareness on safety protocols,” Khandu said.
