Kolkata, May 7 : Two prominent Kolkata football clubs Southern Samity and Kalighat Milan Sangha FC have taken the lead in helping the underprivileged people of the state get vaccinated against Covid-19.
The two clubs who feature regularly in the Calcutta Football League along with the Indian Football Association (IFA), will provide free vaccinations to more than 900 people.
Southern Samity secretary Sourav Pal said on Friday, We have a clinic near our club office where there were serpentine queues every day. Many among those who queued up were from very poor backgrounds, who would barely be able to put the money together for the vaccinations. That really struck us, and we decided to go ahead with the vaccination drive.
