In view of the upcoming Yaoshang festival, a preventive vaccination camp for pets was organized at Social Workers Congress (SWC), Khongman, in collaboration with the Veterinary Dispensary, Akampat, Imphal East. During the drive, over 40 dogs and cats were administered vaccines to safeguard them against potential diseases. The initiative was undertaken as a precautionary measure to ensure public health and animal safety during the festive season.
With Yaoshang around the corner, local playgrounds are expected to witness increased participation of children and youth in sports and cultural activities. Young boys and girls traditionally visit households to collect ‘Nakhadeng’ as part of the celebration. Considering the heightened outdoor movement and community interactions, the vaccination campaign was conducted to minimise health risks and promote a safe festive environment for residents and their pets. Organizers expressed hope that such proactive measures would contribute to a joyful and incident-free Yaoshang celebration in the locality.
