The obnoxious political interference and claims

One boasts; how well the nation-wide vaccination programme is going. And then we have another, who tried to get in the way of health officials at a vaccination centre, demanding that the chit-bearers coming from him be given priority over the rest of the ordinary people in waiting (The editorial of the Island of 31-05-21, ‘Guru-gola way of doing it’), many quite possibly for long hours.
And the next in line is one, who brazenly violated the health restrictions imposed by the authorities and let the people congegate and converge, as they wished. And the result was kick-starting a mega-spread of the virus, which is still going and sweeping through the whole nation without any sign of even receding, let alone stopping altogether.
You see that those, who drink the concoction, made from an oupouring amount of inferiority complex, stupidity, arrogance, ignorence and acquired political might can become lethal to a country. And the sooner the people realise this and unseat them at the earliest opportunity, the better, for the present as well as for the future, of the nation.
However, I am not going to put the whole blame for what’s happening now in the country as regards ‘Covid’ on those misfits alone. The irresponsible public putting ‘Charithra/Varithra’ before the country’s well-being, opting to celebrate with wanton disregard for the dreadful consequenses that would inevitably follow, are equally responsible too, happily apalauding and following the politician/politicians, who made it possible to celebrate without any restrictions. And all the while, the ‘Covid’ must have been waiting, to launch the invasion on all fronts, both rural and urban.
And hasn’t it already done so?

Mr. Warnakula
Please refrain from parroting what the news papers say on this incident without checking your facts.
I hope by now you are aware of the vaccination procedures used in America, Europe, and Australia.
People are requested to get a prior appointment with the health service to avoid unnecessary gatherings in front of the vaccination centers.
This particular city councillor (Mayor) has developed a street-by-street appointment service to get orderly vaccination for their municipal area and also prevent outsiders from using the vaccines dedicated for that particular area.
Unfortunately, that particular high-handed medical officer ignored the support rendered by the city council officers.
Now we know that these government medical officers are the main culprits of misusing vaccines dedicated for the most vulnerable and instead, they use them for their own family members.
As very successfully practised in Europe and in America, the local politicians should take the leading role in the prevention of the Corvid virus.

Sadly this is part of our low down balu culture. Our prelates must man those centres and bring some order.
