He also did not spare the former J&K CM, Mehbooba Mufti for her negative role in signing the agreement with Punjab Government on the project after an initiative was taken by Prime Minister, Narendra Modi in this regard.

MEERUT: Between 9am and 5pm every day, the community health centre at Kandhla town in Shamli runs the Covid-19 vaccination drive. On Mondays and Thursdays, it also organises anti-rabies vaccination camps. This Thursday, three elderly women walked in along with hundreds of others to get their Covid-19 shots. They walked out with anti-rabies shots instead.
Saroj Devi, 70, Anarkali, 72, and Satyavati, 62, had arrived separately but grouped together at the health centre. “The first floor of the centre is where Covid-19 vaccinations were being administered. The queue on the ground floor was for anti-rabies vaccination,” Shamli chief medical officer Dr Sanjay Agarwal said. “Instead of going to the first floor, they joined the queue on the ground floor.”
