An anti-polio drive is set to begin in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Balochistan tomorrow. However, the campaign faces significant challenges as multiple attacks on polio teams have been reported. In Chaman, Balochistan, protesters attacked polio teams, injuring two Levies soldiers and snatching their weapons. In the Wargari Bhittani area of Lakki Marwat district, KP, a polio vaccination team was attacked, resulting in the critical injury of a policeman and the death of one attacker. There were four attackers involved in this incident. Additionally, four Levies personnel and two female polio team members were injured in Chaman, Balochistan, when Laghari, who have been protesting for months, attempted to disrupt the campaign. In another incident, a policeman named Abdur Rahim was shot dead by unidentified gunmen in Sheva, North Waziristan, KP.
