Sindhis in Kolkata organise vaccination drive

KOLKATA: The Sindhi community in the city organised a mass Covid-19 vaccination programme for their members, their companions as well as other residents from different communities at a Park Street address on Sunday.
Around 250 recipients – most of them between the age group of 18 and 45 — were offered the first jab of Covishield at the Park Street Banquet hall of Sindhi Panchayat, in a first of its kind initiative.
The community also offered the vaccines free of cost to members and companions who may have lost their jobs during Covid 19 and couldn’t afford to pay for the jabs.
“Our motto was to vaccinate as many persons as we could.
Hence, we not only limited the vaccination drive to our community but spread it to other communities.
And all those who couldn’t afford it, we have made it free for them,” said Anil Punjbai, president of Sindhi Panchayat.
The group has also been arranging for treatment, Covid beds, necessary testing and distribution of food and essentials to Covid patients in need.
