Lucknow: Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati on Sunday congratulated the scientists associated with the coronavirus vaccine and urged the Centre to make it available for the poor free of cost
अति-घातक कोरोनावायरस महामारी को लेकर आए स्वदेशी वैक्सीन (टीके) का स्वागत व वैज्ञानिकों को बहुत-बहुत बधाई। साथ ही, केन्द्र सरकार से विशेष अनुरोध भी है कि देश में सभी स्वास्थ्यकर्मियों के साथ-साथ सर्वसमाज के अति-गरीबों को भी इस टीके की मुफ्त व्यवस्था की जाए तो यह उचित होगा।

India's drugs regulator on Sunday approved Oxford COVID-19 vaccine Covishield, manufactured by the Serum Institute, and indigenously developed Covaxin of Bharat Biotech for restricted emergency use in the country, paving the way for a massive inoculation drive
In a tweet in Hindi, Mayawati said, "The 'swadeshi' anti-Covid vaccine is welcome and congratulations to the scientists. A request to the Central government is that along with all the health workers, if the extremely poor people get the vaccine free of cost, then it will be appropriate.(PTI)
