Rajouri June 02 :-‘Despite the availability of the vaccine, health authorities facing problems in vaccinating the people, especially in remote areas in Muslim-dominated habitations in rural and remote areas.
Few among many reasons behind low vaccination among majority community members are misinformed about the vaccine, religious grounds, and messages on social media about the ill-effects of vaccination.
In order to achieve the target, the district health authorities are now sending the teams to the doorsteps of the people to motivate/educate them about the vaccine and vaccinate them.
District Administration in the past has held several meetings, including virtual, with the religious leaders and had sought their cooperation to educate the people about the importance of vaccination.
Recently a message had gone viral on social media claiming that whosoever gets vaccinated shall die after two years.
The message was also carried by a daily Urdu newspaper which added more fear among the people in remote & urban areas.
As no action was taken against such rumour mongers the vaccination graph started decreasing in some health blocks of the district.
Now, under verbal orders health teams are visiting villages in every block for a house to house vaccination.
“The rumour mongering about COVID vaccine needs to be checked as the same can weaken the fight against covid” said Dr. Shalinder Sharma, head of Orthopedic Department, GMC Rajouri.
He appealed to intellectuals, religious preachers, civil society members, PRIs and village elders to form special groups at the village level and to assist field functionaries of the health department for pacing vaccination and also to motivate people for vaccination.
Meanwhile, people, including shopkeepers in theage group of 18-45 have expressed their resentment over the non-availability of the vaccine.

All the traders assured full cooperation on their individual level.

Transporters across the district were asked to strictly follow the 50% seating capacity SOPs and also to ensure no person without face mask travels in vehicle.

Seeks probe against violation of rules, reservation of Pahari Speaking students for 2021-22

Mendhar, June 02:– Apni Party Vice President Youth Wing J&K and Media Coordinator, Raqeeq Ahmed Khan has urged Govt. to consider Pahari speaking student’s admission in various academic courses being offered by the Baba Ghulam Shah Badshah University (BGSBU) – Rajouri.

It was unfortunate to note that the BGSBU has ignored the Pahari students to consider their admission under Pahari speaking quota who have been granted 4% by the Govt. It is injustice with the people who speak Pahari language in J&K and violation of Govt decision, said Raqeeq in a statement to the press.

Expressing surprise, he said, all the reserved categories should have been notified in the admission including Pahari Speaking and accordingly, they should have been given place as per the merits of their respective category. However, the university administration seems to be doing its opposite by not including Pahari speaking as one of the reserved categories in the admission process.

He said that “It shows the biased approach of the university administration towards the Pahari Speaking community and exposes their prejudiced approach and negligent attitude towards the Constitution rights under reservation category.”

In notification advertised by the University Administration for admission in UG and PG programmes for the academic session 2021-22 in which no seat has been reserved for Pahari Speaking students, he alleged.

The Lt Governor Manoj Sinha, he said, should look into the issue and investigate as to why the Pahari speaking student as reserved category was not included in the admission of the students to various subjects being offered by the university.

“People will never expect narrow-mindedness of the university being the highest seat of education,” he added and again appealed to the university to reconsider their decision.
