New Delhi: The Prime Minister, Narendra Modi has called the ‘Tika Utsav’, vaccination festival, the beginning of second big war against Corona and has emphasized special focus on social hygiene along with personal hygiene. The Utsav started today on the birth anniversary of Mahatma Jyotiba Phule and will continue till the birth anniversary of Babasaheb Ambedkar on April 14th .
In a message on the occasion, the Prime Minister stressed four points with regard to the drive. First, Each One- Vaccinate , meaning those who can’t go themselves for vaccination, such as illiterate and old people, should be assisted.
Second, Each One- Treat One. This involves helping people in getting Corona treatment, who do not have resources or knowledge to get it.
Third, Each One- Save One, meaning I should wear mask and save myself and others. This should be stressed.
Finally, society and people should lead in creating ‘micro containment zones’. Family members and community members should create ‘micro containment zone’, in case of even a single positive case. ‘Micro containment zones’ are a key component of fight against Corona in a densely populated country like India, said the Prime Minister.
