CICU to award first 20 factories with 100% of workers vaccinated

Ludhiana: In a move aimed at encouraging industrialists to get their workers vaccinated at the earliest, Chamber of Industrial and Commercial Undertakings (CICU) has announced that it will award 20 industrial units of the district that will be the first to vaccinate 100% of their workforce.
The association took the decision after a meeting of its president with the deputy commissioner and the health officials.
The CICU will also hold a three-day vaccination camp at its Focal Point headquarters, where beneficiaries will be jabbed free of cost.CICU president Upkar Singh Ahuja said, “We need to learn from the past mistakes and not lower our guard against coronavirus.
It is the need of the hour that we get ourselves and our near ones vaccinated at the earliest.
As our workers are also a part of our family, it is our duty to protect them against Covid-19.
A review meeting was held on the issue as workers and their families constitute a sizeable part of the city’s population.
Even as a number of factory owners are already running vaccination drives at their units, much more needs to be done.
The award aims at encouraging the cause.”The association will announce the competition details in the coming days.CICU general secretary Pankaj Sharma said, “We are taking several initiatives to get a large number of people from all walks of life vaccinated.
For instance, we are organising a three-day vaccination camp at our Focal Point office from June 28 to June 30 in which first and second dose will be administered to those above the age of 18 years.
We also plan to set up a permanent vaccination centre at our headquarters till the target of vaccinating majority of the population is achieved.”
