Singer Geeta Rabari vaccinated at home against rules

Bhuj: A photograph of Kutch based Gujarati folk singer Geeta Rabari getting the Covid vaccination shot at her home has triggered controversy. The district administration has issued a show-cause notice to the woman health worker, who administered the jab after uproar in social media, following which the photo was taken down.

“As per the complaint received by me yesterday, Geeta Rabari had taken vaccination at her house at Madhapar village on Saturday evening. I issued instructions to officials to identify the health staff who went to her home to administer the vaccine, and on whose approval it was done,” said Kutch DDO Bhavya Verma, as reported by PTI. He has also confirmed to the news agency that the 25-year-old singer had booked a slot on Saturday but instead of going to the public health centre, she got it done at home. Further action into the case will be taken after the healthcare staff explains to the administration what happened, the DDO said.

Singer Geeta Rabari has triggered controversy in the past too by singing at events attended by masses in violation of Covid-19 pandemic related restrictions placed by the Government. DeshGujarat
