Vaccination camp at Eidgah from today

LUCKNOW: A Covid-19 vaccination centre at Aishbagh Eidgah will start functioning from Thursday. Health department officials said this would be the second biggest vaccination centre (in terms of space) in the city, the biggest being one set up at Civil Hospital. “The dry run carried out on Wednesday was successful. The centre would be operational from Thursday noon,” said Maulana Khalid Rasheed Farangi Mahali, Imam Eidgah, who had approached the health department with the offer to use the vacant space on the Eidgah premises for the vaccination centre. “The health department had set up the vaccination centre at the LDA Colony in Aishbagh. The space there was less and so we offered our premises, and it was selected,” said the cleric.
