Rumors don’t get wind
In a meeting with the Chief Ministers of the states, PM Modi spoke seriously about the rumors. He said that every state and every union territory must ensure that rumors related to the vaccine do not get any air for the propaganda. Many mischievous elements of the country and the world can try to block our campaign. Corporate competition can also come in it. We have to thwart every such attempt by giving the right information to the people.
For this, social, religious institutions, NSS, Selfhelp Group, NYK, Professors body, Rotary Club, Lions Club, Red Cross have to take all these along with us. With this, our other vaccination programs which are going on also continue to run.
