HPCC president Kumari Selja today wrote a letter to Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar expressing concern over the fast spreading Covid infection in Haryana.

Selja called for a war-level vaccination campaign in the state to overcome the infection as soon as possible. Along with this, she also asked for adequate supply of oxygen in the hospitals of the state.

In the letter, Selja said that the state of Haryaa was going through a big crisis at this time as Covid infection is spreading rapidly.

“The number of deaths is increasing day by day. At the moment, the vaccine is only a ray of hope. But the speed at which Covid vaccination is taking place, it will take several months,” she said.

She suggested that MBBS and nursing final year students could be used in Haryana to run the vaccination campaign on a war footing. For this, these students should first be vaccinated and after that, they should be trained and inducted into this campaign. She alleged due to shortage of oxygen, people were dying in the state.
