Members of the BJP organised a road blockade near Veerapandi in Tiruppur alleging lack of adequate COVID-19 vaccine doses for the residents of Bharathi Nagar on Wednesday. R. Panneerselvam, district secretary of BJP IT Wing who organised the road blockade, claimed that Bharathi Nagar had over 5,700 registered voters but only around 360 residents had been administered the vaccine doses. Despite multiple representations to the district administration and the Corporation, the vaccination coverage had not improved in the past two months, he alleged.
