Around 394 ESL employees, including business partners, received their vaccine shot at five centers inside the plant premises, informed a PR official of ESL.
Speaking on the occasion, Sadhana Verma, Head HSE, ESL Steel Limited said, we will continue to support the government in the nationwide vaccination drive. As a caring company, we would like our eligible employees to take the vaccine and protect themselves from the ill effects of the deadly virus.
