Arunachal Pradesh Governor BD Mishra on Sunday urged village headmen to encourage people to take vaccines in order to defeat the prevailing coronavirus. It is to be mentioned that the Governor is on a four-day tour to the frontier districts of West Kameng and Tawang as part of the ‘Azaadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’.

He interacted with the ‘gaon burahs’ or village headmen at Dirang and further urged the villagers to get vaccinated without any hesitation, besides following COVID-appropriate behaviour such as use of masks, frequent washing of hands and social distancing.

The governor presented them with essential daily utility items before leaving for Tawang.

On the way to Tawang, Mishra laid a wreath at Jaswant Garh War Memorial and paid tribute to the 1962 War Rifleman Jaswant Singh Rawat. He also paid his respect to the heroes of the India-China war.

Governor BD Mishra said that the soldiers would always be an inspiration for every citizen of the country.
