Superstar Fawad Khan booked after family refuses anti-polio drops to daughter LAHORE: The local administration on Wednesday registered a case against superstar Fawad Khan after his family refused to administer an anti-polio team from giving drops to his daughter, said a spokesperson. The case has been filed at the Faisal Town police station. The administration has booked as many as six people, including Khan, over the charge. Four of the cases have been filed at the Faisal Town police station, and two at the Model Town police station. Meanwhile, Spokesperson of Prime Minister's Polio taskforce Babar Bin Ata has maintained that he has been told "Mrs. Fawad thinks getting their daughter immunised from UK will give the child protection against WPV1 strain. Protection against Wild Poliovirus can only be guaranteed with Oral Polio Vaccine." The government representative alleged that the Lahore Deputy Commissioner told him that Fawad's driver and family misbehaved with the anti-polio team since yesterday. "Fawad is our pride, I request him to allow teams to vaccinate the child. Lahore has had a polio case last week, we must protect the child," he tweeted. The development has come at the time when the government has admitted that active poliovirus transmissions were recorded in as many as eight cities of the country. “We have seen active transmission in Karachi, Lahore, Rawalpindi, Quetta, Peshawar, Bannu, Killa Abdullah and Pishin,” said Ata. The first National Polio Campaign of 2019 will start from 21st January, the three-day campaign will vaccinate more than 8 million children under the age of five. Polio workers will go door to door to vaccinate the children. In 2018 as many as ten polio cases were confirmed from the country, while the number of polio cases in 2017 was seven and in 2016 the number was at 20.
