PESHAWAR, Pakistan: A four-day anti-polio drive began in Federally Administrated Tribal Areas (FATA) and Frontier Regions amid strict security arrangements on Monday.
The campaign will be carried out in most affected areas of Khyber, North and South Waziristan agencies.
At least 2,900 volunteers will take part in the drive which aims to cover 997,000 children under the age of five.
