Covid vaccination for 18-44 age group in districts a non-starter
People in the 18-44 age group living in rural districts of Telangana are not able to get COVID-19 vaccine shots despite being eligible. Currently, they are not offered the jab at Government COVID-19 Vaccination Centres (GCVC). And majority of the corporate hospitals which are offering the vaccination are located in and around Hyderabad. Only one or two private hospitals have opened slots for the age group in a few rural districts.
Following a tussle with the Centre, West Bengal Chief Minister appointed former state home secretary Hari Krishna Dwivedi as successor to Alapan Bandopadhyay as Bengal chief secretary. Read on to know who Dwivedi is and what led to his appointment as Bengal's top bureaucrat.
