New Delhi/IBNS: Prime Minister Narenda Modi will hold a meeting on Covid-19 and the situation of vaccination in India and top officers across ministries will participate in the meeting, said media reports.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, earlier in the day, appealed that the annual  Kumbh Mela, which is currently underway in Uttrakhand's Haridwar, should now be only symbolic to curb the mounting coronavirus cases in the country.

According to the health ministry data, more than 12 crore vaccine doses have been administered so far.
