KARACHI This is
with reference to your editorial “Phony polio figures” (May 19). By now, we all
know that citizens leaving the country are to be handed polio certificates and
those not vaccinated are to be administered polio drops. But knowing the
rampant corruption in the provincial governments, in all likelihood, the
vaccines will either be fake or past their expiry dates. Travellers will now
pay under the table for certificates without getting vaccinated. The
authorities should take the necessary steps to fill in these gaps.
