Kathmandu, March 5: ‘Special Polio drop administering programme’ scheduled for Saturday and Sunday has been obstructed in four districts due to the disruption by health workers.
According to Child Health Division, the programme also could not go ahead smoothly in all places of other districts. The programme could not take place in Siraha, Saptari, Mahottari and Kailali districts as health workers in these districts are on protest strike and have padlocked the health institutions.
The government had scheduled to launch the special polio propgramme in Kailali, Bardiya, Banke, Kapilvastu, Parsa, Bara, Rautahat, Dhanusha, Mahottari, Saptari, Siraha, Sunsari, Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and Lalitpur districts to feed polio drops to 1.692 million children below five years.
Programme Officer of Child Health Division, Basanta Shrestha, said that the programme took place in Kapilvastu, Kathmandu, Lalitpur and Bardiya districts in a smooth manner. The programme, however, resumed in Dhanusha after 5:00 pm, he added.
He expressed the belief that the programme would be run in the districts which saw obstruction today on March 5 and 6. RSS
