Lahore DC said, “Environmental samples of five drain stations including Gulshan Ravi Drain, Outfall Pump Stations and Multan Road came back negative.”

It may be recalled that last time in 2017 Lahore was declared a polio free city when Muhammad Usman was Lahore Deputy Commissioner.

The TV channel sources said the incumbent Lahore Division Commissioner Muhammad Usman during his tenure as Secretary Health continued the anti-polio drive despite reservations and advisory of NCOC.
