Raipur: In what emerges as a major blunder amid the ongoing Covid-19 vaccination drive in Chhattisgarh, the recipients are getting coronavirus vaccination cards with two chief ministers mentioned on it. One such vaccination card shows Bhupesh Baghel and TS Singh Deo as the Chief Ministers of Chhattisgarh.
Baghel is currently the Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh while TS Singh Deo is the state’s Health Minister.
Meanwhile, Baghel has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi requesting him to provide at least one crore doses of vaccines against Covid-19 to Chhattisgarh next month.
Baghel has in his letter to Prime Minister Modi informed him that 9,98,810 vaccine doses were left in the state, which will be sufficient only for three days, PTI reported the official from the public relations department as saying.
Asserting the inoculation drive is being carried out at a fast pace in Chhattisgarh, the Chief Minister said the state has set a target of administering the first dose of the vaccine to all eligible beneficiaries in a month.
“Despite repeated demand, sufficient stock of vaccines is not being provided to the state,” he said in the letter.
According to officials, he requested Prime Minister Modi to immediately direct the Union Health Ministry to provide one crore doses to Chhattisgarh next month.
