Prime Minister Narendra Modi will interact with chief ministers on the Covid-19 situation and the ongoing vaccination drive on Wednesday as the Centre plans to ramp up the inoculation exercise amid a rise in infection in some states, official sources said.

PM will hold the meeting with CMs through a video conference to discuss the issues, an exercise which he has been holding regularly since the outbreak of the pandemic.

The meeting also assumes significance in the wake of increasing Covid-19 cases in many states.

Modi’s last interaction with chief ministers was in January before the vaccination roll-out.

He had announced that the Centre will bear the expenses of vaccinating nearly three crore healthcare and frontline workers in the first round and suggested that public representatives, a reference to politicians, should not be part of this initial exercise.
