Drive to cover 32,000 people in 150 hamlets of Chamarajanagar district
The vaccine hesitancy among the forest dwelling tribes in Chamarajanagar district has been removed through counselling and measures are in place to cover 32,000 adivasis within the next few days. There are 150 tribal haadis or hamlets in the district and the district administration has converted the Girijana Ashrama Schools into vaccination centres. M.R. Ravi, Deputy Commissioner, Chamarajanagar district, said that a majority of adivasi hamlets are within close range of the schools and converting them into vaccination centre makes it easier to cover the hamlets.More Related News
