BENGALURU:

BBMP Administrator Gaurav Gupta has assured all senior citizens that they will receive their Covid-19 vaccinations. He was speaking at a ward committee meeting in Basavanagudi (ward 154) on Saturday.

Some senior citizens had complained at the meeting that despite wanting to get the vaccine, they are forced to wait for days due to lack of clarity on how to get vaccinated.
