AMC BUNGLE
Wedding blocks jab for senior citizens
Ahmedabad: 25.04.2021
For the many elderly who turned up at the designated vaccination centre at the AMC’s Navdeep Hall in Naranpura on Saturday, it was a shock to see a wedding ceremony under way at the location. Since morning, many elderly had come walking a few kilometres to the centre, taking a risk during the pandemic. They had carried their identity cards with them. But they were told to leave because the celebration was on at the civic community centre.
Senior municipal officials said that a family had booked the community centre almost six months ago and there was no way the ceremony could be postponed. “The estate department had failed to communicate to the health department regarding the wedding booking,” said a senior official of the West Zone. “The elderly have requested the AMC for an alternative date.” The estate department has been told to better coordinate with local health departments.
