QUETTA – Two Levies personnel have been martyred as gunmen launched an attack on an anti-polio team in Mastung’s Kali Teri area.
The brave officers, who were assigned to protect the polio vaccination team, lost their lives in the line of duty. The bodies of the fallen personnel have been transferred to the hospital for post-mortem.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif expressed profound sorrow over the deaths. The premier denounced the assault, calling the perpetrators enemies of humanity. He vowed that those responsible would face justice for their actions.
Sharif assured masses that such incidents would not undermine the government’s commitment to eradicating polio. He called on citizens to continue safeguarding their children’s health by ensuring they receive the essential polio vaccinations, stressing that the anti-polio campaign would persist with determination despite the violence.
The loss of these security personnel highlights the ongoing risks faced by those dedicated to public health efforts in regions affected by extremism and violence.
