Raikot, May 24

Residents here today vowed to take proactive measures to prevent the third wave of the coronavirus pandemic. An oath was taken in response to an appeal made by Fatehgarh Sahib MP Dr Amar Singh Boparai and Ludhiana Deputy Commissioner Varinder Kumar Sharma during a function held at a Level-2 Covid care center at Raikot.

During the function, residents vowed 100 per cent inoculation, wearing face mask, maintaining social distancing among other measures to curb the further spread of coronavirus.

“We are glad that people have realized that it is necessary that the maximum population gets inoculated before the onset of the third wave of the pandemic as it would ensure herd immunity against the virus,” said Boparai.

The Deputy Commissioner urged people to make the sub-division a model segment where the entire population was covered under the vaccination drive.

The organisers also distributed free kits, masks and sanitisers among residents.
