Together we defeated polio, have we? 2/22/2015 12:06:01 AM Early Times Report JAMMU, Feb 21: An advertisement in some selected newspapers of the state has claimed total eradication of polio. Interestingly, it has given some credit to the people as well in its slogan `together we defeated polio'. The slogan is misleading. Such claims are made after a survey. As far as, the people of Jammu Kashmir know, no such survey has been conducted till date. Such a survey involves hectic human resource. There has to be a team of officials, volunteers, researchers and data analysts who work in total coordination for months together to reach a conclusion. The people who chose to talk to Early Times have made clear that nobody approached them for the information about polio nor was anybody seen in their respective localities gathering information about the disease. For the information of the authorities, there are areas in Jammu Kashmir which are awaiting electrification, roads and potable water. They have no access to media. They get a feel of being governed when the concerned Deputy Commissioner goes there once in three or four years.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
