‘Make India polio-free’
Zilla Parishad Chairperson Tula Uma felt that it was the responsibility of each and every citizen of the country to help in building a polio-free nation.
Karimnagar: Zilla Parishad Chairperson Tula Uma felt that it was the responsibility of each and every citizen of the country to help in building a polio-free nation.
She, along with District Collector Neetu Kumari Prasad, Karimnagar Municipal Corporation Mayor Ravinder Singh and MLA Gangula Kamalakar, launched pulse polio programme by administering polio drops to a child at Buttirajaram Colony Urban Health Centre here on Sunday.
Stating that a healthy society only could develop the nation, the ZP Chairperson requested the people to protect their children from physical disability by administering two drops of polio medicine.
Collector Neetu Kumar asked the people to make the second phase pulse polio programme a grand success by administering drops to all the children below five years. The Union government is organising pulse polio programmes across the country on the same dates to make the country totally polio-free. The parents should give polio drops to their children if they want their children to have a better life without physical disabilities, she opined.
A total of 4,38,432 children below five years have been identified for the programme through 2,840 polio centres and 86 mobile teams were also deployed to give medicines to children at bus stands and railway stations.
MLA G Kamalakar expressed concern about failing to eliminate polio menace from the country even after 70 years of independence. He requested the parents to give polio drops to their wards without fail to make the country polio-free in the coming 10 years.
