Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The police on Tuesday launched a unique campaign in Niwari district of Madhya Pradesh to honour those who have received Covid vaccine.
The police offer Tricolour badge that says, "I'm a patriot as I'm vaccinated", to those who have been vaccinated. Those who haven't got vaccinated are being made to wear a badge carrying a message, "Stay away from me as I am not vaccinated".
This helps to differentiate those who have been vaccinated from those who are not. Police say it is aimed to motivate people for inoculation.
Niwari Superintendent of Police (SP) Alok Singh told Free Press over the phone that the campaign is more effective in comparison to imposing penalty. “It is morale-boosting for those who have been vaccinated. When people are differentiated from vaccinated people in this way, they too approach session site for inoculation. The main purpose of such campaign is to motivate people for vaccination specially in rural areas,” he added
