Ludhiana, June 17
Nothing was more appropriate than holding a free vaccination camp in the memory of their mother for Verma family, instead of following the traditional rituals on the bhog ceremony. The family acted upon the suggestion given by Ludhiana Deputy Commissioner Varinder Sharma during the live session with city residents recently.
Parvesh Sharma, a resident of Janpath Estate, said his 82-year-old mother, Laxmi Verma, died due to Covid on June 1.
“We lost our mother to Covid. She was not vaccinated,” said Verma.
The camp was held at Bharat Vikas Parishad Charitable Trust through Shree Krishna Charitable Hospital and 220 free doses were administered to people free of cost.
“People should not hesitate to take the jab. It is an important tool to stay protected against the virus,” said Mohit and Shubha Verma, family members.
