Lucknow, 24 October (HS.): On World Polio Day, UP CM Yogi

Adityanath sent a social media statement commemorating India's polio-free

status. He remarked that everyone is proud of India's polio-free status today

and encouraged everyone to commit not to allow the disease to resurface. He

underlined the need of administering two drops of polio vaccination to each kid

and boosting public awareness. In 2014, the World Health Organization (WHO)

efforts.

is polio-free today. On this 'World Polio Day', let us come together and

resolve not to let diseases like polio resurface. Ensure every child receives

the two drops of polio vaccine and continue to raise constant awareness among

people about it. Heartfelt congratulations to all doctors and health workers

who made India victorious in the fight against polio.”
