According to the sources the Block Medical Officer (BMO) Mandi Dr Shamim Bhatti claims he visited different areas o Mandi under inspections but the fact remains that the polio booth at Mandi SDH Mandi was closed at 03:00pm.
Chairman "Insaaf Movement" Javid Iqbal Reshi, alleged that the people of Mandi are anguished over medical officers who left the children of mandi without polio drops for their undue haste. The department also failed to give expected publicity to this health event as being families living in remote Mandi failed to reach to SDH Mandi by 03:00 pm and when they reached there they found Polio Booth closed. Sources said that hundreds of children are deprived from the polio just to callous approach of the department.
While speaking with the local TV Chanel, Reshi said," it is very unfortunate as the people have to suffer a lot due to casual approach of health officials."
Reshi also regretted that no proper announcement was been made in Mandi block and people were not made aware about pulse polio day this year.
"The timing of pulse polio booth is up to 16:00 why SDH Mandi's booth was shuts at 15:00," he questioned. He demanded for inquiry of Pulse Polio funds.
