The Vaccination is organized by Thongju Kendra Voluntary workers covid-19 Relief Committee (TKRC) and Thongju Kendra Gram Panchayat Level covid-19 Task Force and under the aegis of District Administration of Imphal East.
Speaking on the occasion, Th. Biswajit said that he had already jab Covid-19 vaccine but said that without vaccination of those eligible, getting vaccination of only 1 or 2 will not save us all from Covid-19 attack, so with mass vaccination Covid-19 can be defeated.
