<p>&#8220;My personal phone number will be used for the anti-corruption hotline&#8230; Send audio and video to that number if someone asks for a bribe,&#8221; he stated. The phone number will only be used by persons who want to submit films of corrupt authorities seeking bribes for their daily job or engaging in other illegal activities. He then stated that such officials will face severe punishment.</p>

<p>Employees in the Punjab government who fail to take even the first dosage of the Covid vaccine for reasons other than medical may be forced to take a vacation from September 15. This was announced by chief minister Amarinder Singh on Friday as a move to protect the people of the state from the disease and to ensure that those who are vaccinated do not have to pay the price for those who aren&#8217;t.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The chief minister said vaccine effectiveness is obvious from the data being analyzed during a high-level virtual Covid review conference held on Friday. Government employees have been targeted specifically, and any who refuse to get vaccinated will now be ordered to take time off until they receive their first dosage.</p>
