Breaking News HIGHLIGHTS, September 6, 2021: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will virtually interact with healthcare workers and beneficiaries of the government’s Covid-19 vaccination programme in Himachal Pradesh on Monday. "Himachal Pradesh has set a benchmark in the fight against Covid-19 by giving the first dose of vaccine to all eligible people. Will have the privilege of interacting with many such beneficiaries and health workers of the state through video conferencing tomorrow at 11 am," PM Modi tweeted in Hindi on Sunday.

Himachal Pradesh chief minister Jairam Thakur will be present during the event, a statement from the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) said. According to the statement, Himachal Pradesh has successfully covered its entire population with the first dose of Covid-19 vaccination.

The Prayagraj-Jaipur Express, operated by the North Central Railway (NCR) zone, will, on Monday, September 6, become the first train in the country to run with new AC-3 tier economy coaches of the Indian Railways. Two such coaches will be connected to the train in place of an equal number of standard sleeper class compartments, officials said, according to a report by Hindustan Times.

After administering a record-breaking 1,225,541 doses of Covid vaccine on Saturday, Maharashtra has set a target to inoculate over 20 million people in September, requiring a raise in the average number of doses administered daily from 482,695 in August to 700,000 if the state has to achieve the landmark.

Currently, Maharashtra has 17,261,027 fully-vaccinated people- the highest among all states in the country. The state has administered a total of 62,940,932 doses, including over 2.8 crore residents who have received at least the first dose of a Covid vaccine, officials said.
