The deceased constable has been identified as Farhan Bashir.

Polio Situation in Pakistan

According to the World Health Organization, Pakistan remains one of only two countries in the world where polio is still endemic. Along with neighboring Afghanistan, it forms a single epidemiological block, making eradication efforts particularly challenging due to cross-border transmission.
