Please do the same to all politicians and the appointees. Auction all their vehicles to pay for the vaccination.

I believe one of the early policy statements made by the president was no more imports of three wheelers?

Are the 3-wheelers also equipped with blue and red lights and a siren? How many police officers will have to die in traffic accidents before those responsible realize that buying these absolutely unsafe vehicles was a big mistake?
