The session was attended by around 150 radio representatives involved in programming and presentation of radio programs from across India.
Addressing the session, Agrawal cautioned that though Covid-19 cases are reducing across India, the virus is still around and any complacency at this stage can lead to yet another surge.
“The country will soon be reaching a historic landmark of 100 crore vaccination. While victory over virus is in sight, we cannot let this hard-earned victory slip from our hands due to Covid-fatigue. So, I urge people not to let their guard down during the upcoming festive season”, said Agarwal.
He asked all the participants to amplify public interest messages such as importance of both the doses of vaccines, and the need to follow Covid protocols during festivals in country’s collective fight against virus.
