This matter has come to the fore in Meerut district of Uttar Pradesh, revealing 100 crore vaccinations, under which Cantt Board councillor Manju Goyal died on 25 April due to corona. On Friday, six months after his death, suddenly, a message came on his mobile about the second dose of the Covid vaccine.
Seeing this message, there was panic in his family. Relatives told that on 20 March 2021, the first dose of Covishield was given to the late councillor. Unfortunately, he died before the time for the second dose arrived. Not only this but its certificate was also issued on the portal.
