NEW DELHI: To vaccinate all workers at Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd (DSIIDC) flatted factory complex in Jhilmil, a camp will be organised inside the complex on Saturday.
All workers and employees can avail the facility for free during the drive, which is being organised with the coordinated effort of DSIIDC, district administration and logistic support from Jhilmil Entrepreneurs Welfare Group.
“The need for this vaccination camp was felt because most of the workers in these industrial areas are migrant workers and they find it difficult to follow the procedure for getting the jab. Besides, they have misconceptions about the vaccine and its side effects. It is estimated that there are few lakh migrant workers in Delhi and unless all of them are vaccinated, the risk of Covid-19 in Delhi will remain,” said Vivek Gupta, coordinator of the welfare group.
“The initiative taken by DSIIDC is fully complemented by the district magistrate’s office. We, as a welfare group, have already provided a data of the beneficiaries,” said Gupta.
