> Kolkata’s Priya Cinema is all set to become the first single screen theatre in Bengal, and possibly in the country, to be turned into a COVID-19 vaccination centre. What’s unique is that the cinema will also offer free cine-viewing experience during the waiting period on its premise before and after vaccination. The vaccination fee will be the same as hospitals at Priya Cinema.
