The Sindh government has begun considering strict punitive measures against parents who refuse to have their children vaccinated under the national polio eradication campaign.
According to details, the provincial authorities are deliberating actions such as blocking mobile phone SIMs, and suspending national identity cards and passports of those refusing vaccination.
Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah said he has no other option left but to take firm action against individuals who neglect their national responsibility to eliminate polio. He announced that such parents would face restrictions from communication and travel facilities until compliance.
Meanwhile, Karachi Commissioner Syed Hassan Naqvi visited District South to review progress on the ongoing anti-polio campaign.
