Releasing data, the deputy commissioner informed that Rongram registered 100 percent vaccination of adults in the age group of 45 and above, while the vaccination figure for those in the 18+ has already touched the 96 percent mark.

We need youth of Rongram Block to come forward and lead for 100 % vaccination of their area,” said DC Ram Singh as he encouraged them to reach the goal of total vaccination.
