According to reports from the tribal region, polio disease has spread in the area and dozens of children have been affected because militants have not allowed the immunisation teams to administer polio drops to children in the far-flung areas. Agency Surgeon Dr Muhammad Sadiq said that dozens of children have been brought to hospital and admitted. The disease has also spread in Ghundi area of Khyber Agency affecting several children.
