Services of oil industry essential, hold special camps: Civil Supplies Dept. to Collectors
Thousands of employees at cooking gas agencies, petrol bunks, oil depots and terminals as well as LPG bottling plants of public sector oil marketing companies, namely IOC, BPCL and HPCL, across Telangana are likely to get priority in vaccination against COVID-19. It looks imminent with Civil Supplies Department on Wednesday asking all District Collectors to issue instructions for conduct of special vaccination camps treating them as frontline warriors. The advisory from Commissioner of Civil Supplies V. Anil Kumar followed representation from the office of the State Level Coordinator of Oil Industry seeking special measures to vaccinate the workforce. The oil companies transport and distribute petroleum products through a network of terminals, depots, retail outlets and LPG distributors and maintained uninterrupted supplies of “these essential services” ever since the pandemic. The personnel engaged in these operations need vaccination against COVID-19 and for that special camps/drives are to be organised, he said citing the letter.More Related News
