Geeta Rabari controversy

Popular Gujarati folk singer, Geeta Rabari shared a picture on her social media handle where she was allegedly taking a COVID-19 jab from a nurse at her home in Madhapar village, Kutch. Thereby rose a controversy which led the administration to issue a show-cause notice to a woman health worker. Rabari later deleted the picture.

Reportedly, a complaint was filed with the district administration based on the picture. It alleged preferential treatment to the folk singer for inoculation. In the case of the common people, they are required to book their slots online and then reach the designated centre to get their COVID-19 jabs. According to official sources, an inquiry was initiated after the complaint and a show-cause notice was issued to the concerned health worker.

As reported by PTI, Kutch DDO Bhavya Verma said, "As per the complaint received by me yesterday, Geeta Rabari had taken vaccination at her house at Madhapar village on Saturday evening". He added that he has issued instructions to officials to identify the health staff who went to her home to administer the vaccine and on whose approval it was done.

Verma further said that the health worker was directed to file an explanation. They will take further steps based on her reply. He confirmed that Rabari had booked a slot on Saturday but apparently preferred to get the vaccine dose at home rather than going to the public health centre. JO Modak, Kutch Chief District Health Officer also said that Rabari allegedly took her COVID-19 vaccine jab at home and an inquiry was initiated.

Rabari is popularly known for her music albums and live performances. She performed at the Namaste Trump event in February last year at the Narendra Modi stadium, then called the Motera stadium.
