In an attempt to control the spread of polio virus in Pakistan, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Thursday issued an order to not let people from tribal areas enter other provinces if they are not immunized
The government has decided to deploy army personnel on the border of the tribal belt to monitor movement of locals into the bordering provinces.
Many in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas – where propaganda against polio vaccination is rife – are not immunized against the crippling disease.
Pakistan is facing global travel restrictions for its failure to ensure a polio-free country.
