After NDTV Report, Assam LPG Delivery Staff Designated Frontline Workers

The Assam government today recognised LPG distributors and their staff as frontline workers and will vaccinated them on priority

Two days after NDTV carried a report of LPG distributors asking the Assam government to vaccinate cooking gas delivery staff by recognising them as frontline workers, the state government has said it will soon start inoculating them. The Assam government today recognised LPG distributors and their staff as frontline workers. The biggest cooking gas distributors' group in the north-east said they welcome the decision. The North East Indane Distributors Association had said it would shut down the LPG dealers' network in Assam if the state government did not vaccinate their entire lot of delivery staff within a week. Some other north-east states - Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh - have already designated LPG delivery staff as frontline workers.
