ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad police officials have started administering polio drops to children under the age of five year entering the federal capital from the motorway toll plaza.

The campaign has been started in collaboration with the World Health Organisation (WHO). The move on the anti-polio campaign as well as road safety is labeled as “The signs of life.”

The step has been taken to maintain the polio-free status of the federal capital.

The police officials not only give polio vaccine to the children but also inform the drivers about traffic safety rules. WHO and the Islamabad police have also created and adopted a set of innovative traffic signals with illustration of a child receiving polio drops alongside using conventional road signs to create awareness amongst the commuters about seatbelts, importance of wearing helmets by motorcyclists and observing speed limits.
