NEW DELHI: With an aim to vaccinate maximum number of eligible people against Covid-19, India on Sunday launched the four-day-long 'Tika Utsav' or vaccination festival.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi called 'Tika Utsav' the beginning of the second big war against corona.
In a tweet, he also made four requests to the citizens. "We are going to begin 'Tika Utsav' today nationwide. I urge countrymen to abide by four things - assist those who need help getting inoculated, help people in Covid treatment, wear masks and motivate others and if someone tests positive, create micro-containment zone in the area," he said.
