Anti-polio campaign from today

Published July 22, 2003

MIRPURKHAS, July 21: The EDO, health, Dr Fazal Elahi Yousfani, has said women health supervisors can play a vital role in the three-day polio immunization campaign to be launched on July 22 in the district.

He was speaking at a ceremony of distribution of offer letters to 16 women health supervisors here on Monday.

The EDO said Mirpurkhas was a polio-free district since 2001 but to maintain this status polio drops would be administered in the district during the campaign.

MEETING: The Nazim of union council-2, Mirpurkhas, has called a meeting of the council for Tuesday to consider a no-confidence motion against the Nazim.

As many as 19 councillors of the UC had submitted the no-trust motion against Nazim Yawar Ali Khan.

Naib Nazim Abdul Shakoor has also sent an application to the DPO, requesting him to provide security on this occasion.

The councillors, including Abdul Ghani, Babuddin alias Babban Qureshi and others in the no-confidence motion said the Nazim did not implement resolutions passed by the council and that minutes of meetings were not correctly recorded.
