CHAMAN: Deputy Commissioner Chaman, Habib Ahmed Bangulzai, conducted a district-wide inspection to review security measures for the ongoing anti-polio campaign. This effort aligns with Balochistan’s broader initiative to eradicate polio, focusing on safety and support for polio teams.

During his visit, DC Bangulzai engaged with female polio workers and local parents, assuring them of full security and support throughout the campaign. He emphasized the importance of a safe working environment to ensure the campaign’s success and encouraged community participation to protect children’s health.

The anti-polio drive in Chaman is part of a province-wide effort, underlining Balochistan’s commitment to a polio-free future. The province has so far reported 21 polio cases, the highest number across Pakistan.
