Lucknow, Mar 1 (ANI): Around a lakh twenty five thousand immunisation booths have been set up across Uttar Pradesh to administer polio drops to children on the first day of a week-long imunisation drive.

About 6500 transit teams have been deployed at railway and bus stations for the immunization drive.
Over 2000 mobile teams are also participating in the drive.
According to the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, India has recorded 196 polio cases till April 22, 2008.
In comparison, three other countries where polio is still endemic - Nigeria, Pakistan and Afghanistan- have together recorded 123 cases. (ANI)
