Hyderabad: Governor Dr. Tamilisai Soundararajan on Wednesday called for an intensified campaign to motivate all the eligible people to get vaccinated.

Expressing her happiness at the creativity of the participants in coming out with innovative and quality designer masks, scarves, and other products, Dr. Tamilisai Soundararajan appreciated the participants’ work.

The Governor directed the officials and the Raj Bhavan dispensary  medical officers to coordinate with the Niloufer Hospital paediatric surgeon for ensuring an early surgery to treat the ailing daughter of a Home Guard working at Raj Bhavan, here.

She has also appreciated the eligible Raj Bhavan officers and staff members on getting vaccinated.

“We (Raj Bhavan staff) must be role models to others. Ensure that all the eligible staff members are vaccinated,” she directed.

As part of her initiative to be available to the visitors, the Governor has virtually interacted with a delegation.

Secretary to Governor K. Surendra Mohan led the team of officials from the Raj Bhavan, here, in appraising the developments to the Governor.
