The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) Government announced a “No Vaccination, No Ration” policy in the State.
To achieve 100 % vaccination against the Wuhan virus (COVID-19) in Telangana, the K. Chandrashekar Rao Government directed fair price dealers to stop ration supplies to non vaccinated beneficiaries.
To ensure the majority of people get their COVID-19 vaccine doses, the Government asked beneficiaries to produce their vaccination certificates, for raiton. This instruction, if applied, would successfully link the public distribution system (PDS) with the COVID-19 vaccine.
Addressing the media, a government official, who wished to be anonymous, said, representative of Telangana rations dealers’ association stated that while the state has issued no circulars, the civil supplies officials in respective districts have orally instructed dealers to insist on vaccine certificates from beneficiaries to avail their ration.
These instructions were issued to dealers in Adilabad, Asifabad, Mahabubnagar, Narayanpet and Gadwal districts in Telangana. In addition, the strict rules and directions were in the view of the rising number of COVID-19 cases and Omicron, the new variant of COVID-19 threat
Meanwhile, earlier this week, the Telangana State Cooperative Apex Bank (TSCAB) announced that employees who have not taken at least a single dose of the COVID-19 vaccine will not be paid their salaries.
Restricting salaries and benefits of government schemes to non vaccinated people is said to be a good strategy to ensure everyone takes their vaccine doses.
