He will also inaugurate two flyovers – near Gandhinagar on the Sarkhej-Gandhinagar highway (SG Road), one over the Vaishnodevi Circle, a new railway overbridge at Khoraj, as well as a new APMC building at Kalol in Gandhinagar, the party said.
These two flyovers will greatly reduce the traffic on SG Road. Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani and Deputy CM Nitin Patel are expected to be present during the opening ceremony.
The Ahmedabad civic body said that the community hall at Bodakdev, where Shah will remain present is “one of the 25 such vaccination centres, where local MPs, MLAs and corporators will remain present to try to give pace to the vaccination campaign”.
The Gujarat government will launch the state-wide COVID-19 vaccination drive through spot registration for the beneficiaries in the age group of 18-44 years from Monday. Such beneficiaries can walk-in at any centre and get vaccinated after getting themselves registered on the spot. They will not require prior online registration, even though beneficiaries booking their prior slot through online registration will get priority, it said.
The government said that the spot registration drive will begin across all the vaccination centres in Gujarat from 3 pm on Monday.
The AMC said it has raised the number of vaccination centres in Ahmedabad to 400, setting up such sites at various health centres, municipal schools, and community halls, etc, to cover daily one lakh beneficiaries under the drive.
Arrangements have been made for spot registration of beneficiaries from all categories for both the first and second doses of vaccines, the civic body said.
On Tuesday morning, Shah will take part in a tree-plantation programme at Sindhu Bhavan road at Bodakdev in Ahmedabad, the BJP said.
