Anti-polio drive postponed in Karachi

Health authorities in Sindh have decided to postpone anti-polio campaign in Karachi due to deteriorating law and order situation, Geo News reported. The decision to put off the campaign was taken at a high level meeting attended by DCOs and health officers. The campaign was to start on February 6. Police, paramilitary Rangers and other law enforcement agencies have failed in maintaining law and order in Karachi. At least four polio workers including three women were gunned down by unknown attackers last month. Geo News correspondent said that a meeting would be held on Monday to chalk out security plan to carry on anti- polio campaign in the city.
