Anti-polio drive to commence in Punjab from 13th

The Punjab government will launch national anti-polio campaign across the province from October 13. The campaign will run for seven days in Lahore and for five days in all other districts. A meeting of the Provincial Task Force on Polio Eradication was held at the Civil Secretariat here on Thursday. Provincial Health Minister Khawaja Imran Nazir, Chief Secretary Punjab Zahid Akhtar Zaman, Chief Minister’s Focal Person on Polio Uzma Kardar, secretaries of the health, home, and education departments, and representatives of international partners working on polio eradication attended the meeting while all divisional commissioners and deputy commissioners participated via video link. The task force expressed serious concern over the presence of poliovirus in environmental samples from Lahore. As a result, it was decided that a special anti-polio campaign would be conducted in 122 union councils of the district in November. It also issued necessary instructions for provision of security for polio teams operating in Dera Ghazi Khan, Rajanpur, Rahim Yar Khan, and Mianwali. Speaking at the meeting, Health Minister Khawaja Imran Nazir said that despite significant progress in polio eradication efforts in Punjab, the continued presence of virus poses a serious risk. He added: “It is absolutely critical that every child is vaccinated to halt its transmission.” He also stressed the importance of focusing on ‘missed children’ – those who are left unvaccinated during the campaign. The Chief Secretary directed the deputy commissioners to ensure special arrangements for vaccinating children in flood-affected areas, and to deploy dedicated teams at inter-provincial borders and transit points to vaccinate mobile populations to help prevent the spread of the virus. “By addressing operational gaps and strengthening coordination, we can achieve complete eradication of the poliovirus in Punjab,” the Chief Secretary emphasized. Adeel Tasawur, the head of the Punjab Polio Eradication Program, gave a detailed briefing during the meeting. He stated that more than 22.5 million children across Punjab would be administered polio vaccine during the campaign, with 200,000 polio workers performing duties.

The Celebrity Traitors: First faithful murdered in plain sight

The Celebrity Traitors has seen its first contestant murdered in a killing that took place in plain sight. Singer Paloma Faith was revealed to be the murdered faithful in a dramatic hour-long episode that saw the competitors gather around the roundtable for the first time. At the start of Thursday’s instalment, presenter Claudia Winkleman announced at the breakfast table that one of the 19 contestants would be murdered at the end of the day from a slow-release poison that had been planted on them the night before. Dressed in their mourning attire, the celebrities followed Winkleman, 53 – who was on horseback, to the site of a cemetery. The competitors carried three coffins into the graveyard and Winkleman told players they would be solving problems to identify who the traitors had chosen to lie in them – one of them being the murdered faithful. Comedian Lucy Beaumont, YouTube star Niko Omilana and Faith, 44, were all made to lie in the coffins amid debate from the competitors on who the murdered faithful could be. The celebrities decided it was Beaumont, 42, but Winkleman closed the door of Faith’s coffin – signalling her exit from the game. The three traitors – TV presenter Jonathan Ross, comedian Alan Carr and singer Cat Burns – had been tasked with murdering someone in the castle during Wednesday night’s episode. To kill Faith, Carr, 49, had to rub his hands on the pollen of a poisoned lily before touching her face. After the show, Faith said: “I found it quite nerve wracking, because I knew when I went in that I have a huge personality and that I’d be very visible. “I knew that I couldn’t fade into the background. I’m the sort of person that lets my feelings about people be known by talking a lot, so it was never an option for me to be able to quietly just simmer under the surface. “I felt like my spidey senses kicked off very early on. I was potentially, in hindsight, over sharing a lot of stuff. “I don’t think my technique was great in this game, but it works very well in real life.” Among the other celebrity competitors are broadcaster Kate Garraway, Welsh singer Charlotte Church, actor Sir Stephen Fry, retired Olympic diver Tom Daley and The Thursday Murder Club actress Celia Imrie. In the spin-off series, the competitors – named the faithfuls – are tasked with detecting and banishing the murderous traitors in the group while completing a series of challenges to win cash towards the charity prize pot. If at the end of the series a traitor is among the finalists, the faithfuls lose out on the money and the traitor takes the full cash prize. Since the UK version began in 2022, millions of fans have watched The Traitors on the BBC and it has picked up a Bafta TV Award for best reality and constructed factual programme, and best entertainment performance for Winkleman. The celebrity series attracted more than six million viewers when it launched on October 8. The programme airs Wednesdays and Thursdays on BBC One.
