ROING, Mar 11: In order to sustain polio eradication drive from the country, NHPC, Dibang Multipurpose Project (DMP) on Sunday launched Pulse Polio programme. Chief General Manager, DMP, Biswajit Basu, launched the program by administering polio drops to children less than five years old, in front of the Office Complex of DMP. More than 100 children were given polio drops as part of the drive.
The polio eradication programme aims to protect children from the crippling disease by conducting two nationwide mass polio vaccination campaigns and two to three sub-national campaigns each year. Since March, 2014, the World Health Organization has declared India as a polio free country, however it is still important for us to take the vaccine till polio is eradicated globally.
