HYDERABAD, Dec 12 (APP):On the instructions of the chief minister Sindh and the minister for LG, Deputy Commissioner Matiari Muhammad Yousuf Shaikh held a meeting with the elected representatives of the district’s local bodies on Friday, where a strategy was prepared to ensure 100% results in the anti-polio campaign starting from 15 December.
According to a handout, speaking on the occasion, the Deputy Commissioner said that achieving 100% success in the upcoming campaign was essential to eradicate a dangerous disease like polio from its roots. He said that reports had been received from various areas about parents refusing to give polio drops to their children, which was a highly concerning trend.
He said that elected representatives should directly engage with the people of their respective areas and explain to them that there was no cure for polio, and only preventive drops can protect their children from lifelong disability.
He directed that door-to-door contact must be ensured in every Union Council, no child should be left without polio drops and public confidence should be strengthened.
The municipal, town and UC chairmen assured the meeting of their full support to make the campaign completely successful. All elected chairmen of local bodies and other participants attended the meeting.
