Port Blair, June 6: The State President of Kesaria Hindu Vahini Trust, Diptendu Dasgupta has requested the DC North & Middle Andaman to increase the number of vaccination centre in the district.

KHV pointed that at present there are three vaccination centres in the North & Middle Andaman District i.e. in CHC Diglipur, R.P. Hospital Mayabunder and CHC Rangat. It becomes a very risky for people to travel long distance in a public transport for getting vaccinated at this given point of time. Due to this there are many people in the North & Middle Andaman District who are hesitant to get vaccinated.

KHV has thus requested the DC N&M Andaman to increase and/or set up vaccination centres in the following areas: PHC Radhanagar, PHC Kishorinagar, PHC Kalighat, PHC Billyground, PHC Kadamtala, PHC Long Island and PHC Baratang
