The seven-day anti-polio campaign in Mastung resumed on Thursday after a temporary halt following a deadly attack on the polio team. Two members of the Balochistan Levies Force were killed in the incident that occurred in Union Council Mubi Killi Teeri area.
The campaign, which was paused due to the attack on April 23, has now resumed in the district. Nek Muhammad and Maqsood Ahmed, the two levies personnel tasked with ensuring the security of the polio team, lost their lives when unidentified assailants targeted the group.
Authorities have reinstated the campaign with heightened security measures to ensure the safety of the teams involved in the crucial health initiative.
