Arunachal Pradesh: Union Min Thakur hails health worker's 'brave act' to vaccinate people

In a viral video that is rapidly gaining traction on social media, a man can be seen risking his life as he crosses a bridge over a rapid river in a secluded settlement in Arunachal Pradesh.

As per reports, this man happens to be a health worker who jeopardises his own life to serve a noble cause - to innoculate people in the remote regions where normal health care facilities hardly reach. Union Minister Anurag Thakur took note of this extraordinary effort and emphasised that such endeavours would help push the vaccination figures to 100 crores in India, which also happens to be one of the main goals of PM Narendra Modi's government.

Health worker risks life to make sure everyone is vaccinated

In a Twitter video that will restore one's faith in humanity, a health worker can be seen struggling his way through a handcrafted bridge constructed out of two bamboo sticks with minimum support, built over a rapid water body.

In the video, he can be seen carrying a blue box that reportedly carried vaccination doses to be administered in the distant areas of Arunachal Pradesh so that people are more aware of how important the process of vaccination holds in their life and for their immunity, further boosting the initiative of PM Narendra Modi to administer 100 crore vaccine doses by October end.
