Sanitation workers employed by the Urban Local Bodies like Municipal Corporations, Municipal Councils, Nagar Parishads, and Nagar Panchayats are eligible for the incentive.
Meanwhile, the Himachal Medical Officers Association (HMOA) criticized the state government after it scrapped the quarantine period for the medical staff who have received both the doses of Covid vaccine. General Secretary of HMOA Pushpinder Verma said that even after receiving the complete dosage of vaccination, people are vulnerable to coronavirus and have even died. The association has given three days to the state government to retract the notification, after which the medical staff will wear a black ribbon on their arms as a mark of protest.
