Call us if you are harassed over vax, Cong tells people

Rajkot: The city unit of Congress made public phone numbers for people to inform about police harassing business establishment owners and daily wagers over mandatory vaccine rule of the state government.
The government had set the deadline of June 30 for traders, vegetable vendors and other ‘super spreaders’ to take a jab or face a closure of business.
Addressing reporters, Dr. Hemang Vasavda, vice-president, Gujarat Pradesh Congress Committee (GPCC) said, “The government has failed in vaccinating maximum population. We won’t tolerate harassment to traders and daily wagers for state’s failure.”
However, the Covid core committee on Wednesday decided to extend the time limit of vaccination for commercial establishment owners and employees to July 10. For the past few days, several cities of Gujarat are witnessing acute shortage of vaccine.
Rajkot was facing the shortage of Covishield, but on Wednesday Rajkot Municipal Corporation (RMC) the stock. However, RMC had to reduce the session sites from 62 to 32 because of non-availability of sufficient doses and it has also postponed planned vaccination camps organized by various industrial associations and social organizations.
Dr. Vasavda also asked for a list from the government detailing the number of planned vaccination campaigns which had to be postponed for the want of jabs.
Meanwhile, leader of opposition in RMC, Bhanu Sorani will organize online Lok Darbar following a flood of complaints against the civic services on Congress dashboard in the last two weeks. She will organize Lok Darbar every Thursday in July and Congress has made public the timing, username and password on its social media platforms.
