Persistent hiccups at city's vaccination centers cause public to stage road rokos at various places

Persistent hiccups at vaccination centers in Coimbatore instigate public to stage road rokos at various places across the city.


Coimbatore: With Coimbatore district continuing to cough up fresh Covid-19 cases more than other districts in Tamil Nadu, people in the district are now eagerly coming forward to get their vaccinations against Covid-19. However, the public are disappointed that vaccination in Coimbatore district is still not organised and hence have staged a road roko in front of various vaccination centers in Coimbatore, on Tuesday morning. The protesters ended up in an argument with the authorities that they were not being given proper information regarding vaccination.



In Vadamadurai, near Thudiyalur in Coimbatore, the public reportedly waited in long queues to be vaccinated since early morning despite the rains, and hence were enraged over the non-availability of vaccine tokens. Similarly, over 300 people were waiting to be vaccinated at the vaccination center in the Pioneer Mill area of Peelamedu, Coimbatore and on not being administered their jabs, the irate crowd staged a road roko citing that officials had announced that there was only less stock of vaccines.



At the city's Nanjundapuram area, people awaiting their jabs against Covid-19 in long queues wrere also disappointed since they had braved the pouring rain to ensure they were vaccinated. Once again, public opined that adequate arrangements were not made at their vaccination center and that the District administration and the Coimbatore Corporation were continuing to neglect vaccination drives to the disappointment of the public.
