Ukhrul, January 29 2022:
Tangkhul Katamnao Saklong (TKS) has decried the Government's order for man-datory vaccination of students in the district.The district's apex student body said that the order dat-ed January 19, 2022 issued by the Zonal Education Of-ficer, Ukhrul, for mandato-ry Covid-19 vaccination of students was a clear defiance of the Supreme Court and Ma-nipur High Court's order for voluntary vaccination.
"We oppose any such blanket imposition of vac-cine mandate policy from the government," it said in a no-tification.
The students' body then appealed to parents and students above 15 years of age to make careful consideration on vaccination.
It also urged all residents to strictly adhere to Covid-19 appropriate behaviour and take all necessary precau-tions to ensure public health safety.
