News Edition 24 Desk: Bhilai/ Durg: The drive-in vaccination facility for the convenience of senior citizens has started in Durg district from today under the vaccination campaign being run by the state government to prevent the epidemic. Elderly citizens are getting vaccinated sitting in their car. They have to rest for half an hour after vaccination in the car itself. A medical team is present here. After half-an-hour observation everything is allowed to go home if normal.

For this, the parking of Surya Shopping Mall in Bhilai has been chosen. It is a place full of shady peace.
On the first day of the facility, MLA Devendra Yadav and Collector Sarveshwar Narendra Bhure were also present. The MLA and Collector also took feedback from senior citizens. Senior citizens said that this facility was very good, this innovation of administration was very good because the heat is very high so it was difficult to stay late in the vaccination center. With this, our big concern was overcome by having this facility available while sitting in the car. We were also very concerned about social distancing, but because the vehicle got vaccinated in a very short time, our concern has completely gone away. Municipal Corporation Commissioner, Rituraj Raghuvanshi was also present on the occasion.
The program at Surya Shopping Mall is being done by the Bhilai Municipal Corporation under the guidance of the district administration.
