Kiphire District Task Force held a meeting at the DC's Conference Hall on June 5th 2021, which was chaired by Deputy Commissioner & DTF Chairman Rahul Mali, IAS.

The meeting decided to conduct ward wise vaccination camp and accordingly, ward chairmen have been directed to activate 'Ward Task Forces' in their respective wards at the earliest. The ward authorities were directed to submit data of 18 years and above people who are interested in taking Covid Vaccine with their name, age, ID card number and their mobile number to the District Immunization Office. 

During the meeting, Dr. Moa Jamir called for early reporting and medication if a person is sick and have Covid-like symptoms, as in many cases, late reporting have been the cause of death.

DC Rahul Mani said vaccination is the only solution and he encouraged the community leaders to lead by example by availing the vaccine themselves and create awareness and encourage people to take the vaccine.
