SRINAGAR – In a criminal move, the BJP-led fascist government has not onlyhalted the mass vaccination in the illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir butalso diverted the allocated stocks to other Indian states.

A senior official supervising vaccination operations in the disputedHimalayan region told an international news agency that supplies ofvaccines have been stopped since Thursday for reasons that have not beencommunicated to them.

If any of the health centers in the region are vaccinating people, it isfrom leftover stocks since no new supplies are arriving in the valley. Thevaccination centers are currently deserted in wake of the non-availabilityof vaccines, forcing the Kashmiris visiting these centers to returnunvaccinated.

Fresh stocks have not come despite the matter having been taken up with thetop government in center.

The latest repression of the Indian government comes at a time when theIIOJK has witnessed the highest spike in Covid deaths and positive casesever since the outbreak of the pandemic. As of Monday, at least 47 peopledied while 3,832 persons were tested positive.
