QUETTA: Two Levies personnel were martyred in Mastung’s Kali Teri area in Balochistan on Wednesday when unidentified assailants opened fire on a polio team’s security detail, said the police. The victims were deployed to protect the anti-polio workers conducting a vaccination campaign in the region. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif strongly condemned the terrorist attack on the polio team and vowed to bring the perpetrators to justice. “Terrorists who harm innocent civilians and security personnel are enemies of humanity and will be punished,” he said. He reiterated that such attacks would not deter Pakistan’s resolve to eradicate polio from the country. “The government remains steadfast in its commitment to eliminate the disease. The polio campaign will continue with full national resolve,” he said.
