After the opposition in Punjab, Akali Dal accused the state government of 바카라œdiverting바카라 Covid vaccines to private hospitals at 바카라œhefty margins바카라, the Punjab government on Friday withdrew its order that allowed "one-time limited vaccine doses to 18-44 age group population through private hospitals".

The state government also asked the private hospitals to return the remaining vaccine doses.

Vikas Garg, the state-in-charge for vaccination against Covid, in a letter said the order "has not been taken in the right spirit and is hereby withdrawn".

Earlier in the day, Punjab's health minister Balbir Singh Sidhu said he has ordered a probe into the Oppositions바카라™ allegations that the state government has been 바카라œdiverting바카라 Covid vaccines to private hospitals.

Sidhu made the statement when he was specifically asked about the Oppositions바카라™ allegation.

바카라œWhat I have learnt through media, I have already ordered for a probe and we will order a proper inquiry. We will keep the issue before the chief minister,바카라 he had said.

(More details awaited.)
