The Chief Minister has appealed to the social organisations, corona volunteers, public representatives and general public of all the districts to extend their full cooperation in the vaccination mega campaign.
Political parties must also provide their constructive contribution in this campaign related to public interest.
Chief Minister Chouhan has also requested government departments and heads of various sects and religions to motivate them to get the vaccine.
