Imphal, July 06 2021:
Acting on a report of the doctor in-charge of a vaccination team, DC Thoubal has today served show cause notice against two officials (COWIN verifier) for issuing vaccination certificates to four beneficiaries without having given the Covid vaccine.
It is learnt that the incident took place after the completion of a vaccination session scheduled at Thoubal Awang Leikai, Community hall yesterday.
Misuse of COWIN application by the verifier is considered as a serious misconduct by a Government servant and this irresponsible act will defeat the very objective of conducting mass Covid vaccination programmes, said the DC in the show cause notice and sought explanation from two officials identified as Md Abdul Kadir and Md Rafique Ali (Primary teachers, Moijing High School) as to why strict disciplinary actions should not be initiated against them.
The explanation in writing must be submitted before the DC Thoubal within 48 hours from the date of receipt, the notice said.
