The Provincial Minister for Planning and Development Dr Hamid Achakzai has said the Balochistan government and elected councillors of Pashtunkhwa Milli Awami Party (PkMAP) will play a more vibrant role in addressing polio vaccination refusal cases in Killa Abdullah and parts of Quetta during the upcoming anti-polio campaign, with the assistance of local elders.
He expressed these views during an important meeting with Coordinator Emergency Operation Center Balochistan’s Dr Syed Saifur Rehman, N-STOP Officer Balochistan Dr Aftab Kakar.
Dr Saif briefed the provincial minister who also belongs to Killa Abdullah district, one of the high risk areas, about the refusal cases in his constituency while highlighting the problems confronted by polio vaccinators. “The situation is improving however, after the military and political leadership came on the same page against the Taliban terrorists,” Achakzai remarked.
