Maha: 'No vaccine no fuel' drive initiated in Aurangabad
Following a joint meeting with petroleum dealers' association, the administration has commenced the drive across the district, the official said.
"We had earlier asked for a team from the administration to check vaccination certificates of people at petrol pumps, as we were short of manpower," said Aqeel Abbas, the secretary of Petroleum Dealers' Association.
There are now teams comprising personnel from the police, municipal corporation and local governing body at petrol pumps to check certificates, he said.
Vaccines are also being administered at some fuel outlets to help people take the jab then and there, he added.
Talking to PTI, Collector Sunil Chavan said, "We have initiated the campaign and announcements are being done at petrol pumps. This has helped to take the vaccination figure up in the district. We shall continue the initiative till we achieve the target."
