Levies and Khasadar forces in Mohmand and other merged tribal districts have declared a boycott of the upcoming polio vaccination campaign on September 21. The decision comes after they accused the government and police departments of not meeting their demands for proper service-related benefits. Their protest has led to the suspension of first information report filings and daily police diary entries, raising concerns about the campaign's successful execution.
The three-day drive aims to vaccinate children across the region, but the personnel's protest threatens to disrupt these efforts.
