In a press release following the inoculation round, Dhiraagu stated that “with the recent surge in COVID-19 cases in the country, health and safety of our customers and employees remain our top priority”.
“Therefore, under the government’s initiative to vaccinate frontline staff, today we have received registered slots for Dhiraagu staff.”
