India on alert as polio cases rise in Pak, Afghan

The New Indian Express Mangaluru

|

October 25, 2025

DESPITE being officially certified as polio-free in 2014, India remains at risk of polio reinfection due to vaccine-derived poliovirus (VDPV), its proximity to endemic countries, Pakistan and Afghanistan, and potential gaps in immunity, experts said here on the occasion of World Polio Day on Friday.

- KAVITA BAJELI-DATT @ New Delhi

Deepak Kapur, Chairman, Rotary International’s India National PolioPlus Committee (RI-INPPC), told this newspaper, “India was officially declared polio-free in 2014, but the battle against the virus is still ongoing.” As surveillance is a key to India maintaining its polio-free status, he said, strong immunisation and surveillance programmes is critical.
