The Levies and Khasadar personnel in the merged tribal districts have announced a boycott of the upcoming polio vaccination campaign, set to begin on September 21. This decision comes after the personnel cited the government and police department's failure to fulfill commitments regarding their service-related demands. The protest, which includes a sit-in at the historic Bab-i-Khyber and a stop to registering FIRs and making entries in police diaries, has raised concerns about the arrangements for the polio campaign in the merged districts.
The protesters have also announced plans to establish protest camps outside the offices of deputy commissioners in each merged district until their demands are addressed.
