All Manipur Muslim Organisations Co-ordinating Committee (AMMOCOC) has appealed to people particularly Pangal community to stay away from rumours and get COVID-19 vaccine while maintaining that vaccination is the only way to prevent the virus.
Addressing a press conference held at its Hatta office here on Sunday, AMMOCOC president SM Jalal said that COVID-19 pandemic has affected people across the globe but it was very fortunate for the humans that different vaccines have been produced to prevent from the virus and vaccination programmes are being taken up across the globe.
Accordingly, Manipur government is working hard to vaccinate entire people of the state, he said.
While appealing to people particularly Pangal community to get COVID-19 vaccine without fail, SM Jalal said that rumours being spread about COVID-19 vaccine are not true and hence people need not believe in such rumours while maintaining that the only way to save lives of the people from the pandemic is vaccination.
He then appealed to local clubs and organisations particularly those in Pangal inhabited areas to take initiative in the ongoing vaccination process.
He further appealed to the local Imams to take the same initiative just like their counterparts in Tripura and other states of the country.
Most volunteers of AMMOCOC and its constituent organisations have already received the first dose of COVID-19 vaccine and remaining volunteers will be vaccinated soon by organising mass vaccination programmes, Jalal said and called for making Manipur a COVID-19 free state by getting the vaccine without any fear.
He further appealed to Pangal community to maintain social distancing and wear face mask while offering prayer at Masjid or going out from home.
