Tribals in remote hamlets shunned modern medicine
Tribals from remote hamlets in the Adilabad district who had shunned getting vaccinated for COVID-19 infection, have now come to the mainstream and got the vaccine administered. Some 115 tribals stood up in a queue and got their dose of vaccination done on Monday at 16 remote hamlets of Sirikonda mandal in Utnoor police sub-division. This was made possible due to the persistent efforts of District Superintendent of Police M. Rajesh Chandra who took a special interest and convinced the tribal elders to accept the live-saving COVID-19 vaccination. Tribals in those hamlets are in the habit of getting physical ailments treated by consuming ayurvedic potions or the bark of some trees.More Related News
