JAMMU, Apr 17: BJP State executive member, Nitish Mahajan has appealed to the Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha to allow Corona vaccination for all those below 45 years of age who are working on ground to maintain essential services for the people at large in this hour of crisis due to sudden upsurge in Corona cases.
Addressing media persons here today, he said the majority of delivery staff in field is young like the LPG delivery boys, the filling boys at petrol pumps besides others across the UT who are at grave risk of getting Corona infection and as such there is a dire need to get these youth below the age of 45 vaccinated against the deadly virus at the earliest.
Nitish said that the nation is yet again facing a crisis situation today amid second wave of COVID-19 pandemic and it is appropriate time for the Government to take the decision to do away with the age limit/restriction for COVID-19 vaccination. He emphasized that the life of every citizen irrespective of age is precious and the right to life is a fundamental right guaranteed by the constitution of India with the State being duty bound to protect this most precious right.
