The fight is not yet over!

Just get set for another round of attack on polio virus.  SNID has been scheduled for Sunday, 27th March. So be ready for action.

Major task before every Rotarians is : 
a. Whenever and wherever you see a 5 years old, check out the mark on the little finger to see whether the child has received the polio drops or not.
b. Especially check your neighbourhood. Check out the child of your servant, the gardner, the dhobi around the corner, the labour in a house being constructed nearby or the settlements of labourers around the buildings under construction, the brick kilns.
c. Check out the children with nomad parents. You can find them in plenty on the Sector 21, Sector 22, Sector 34, Sector 15, and Sector 17. Have they been immunised?
d. Mark out such places where you think such families are there, and ensure on the 27th March that you take the team of paramedics with the polio dose, to all these settlements to ensure that they receive the drops.
e. Ensure coverage of people in transit. Man all the entries and exits to the city, request people to stop, check if there is a 5 years old or smaller child inside, and give the polio drop.
This is the only way we can ensure that polio gets wiped out from our country.

Put Ice in Your Mobile!

 Indeed. The concept of ICE is being promoted in Chandigarh, Panchkula and Mohali and we do hope that other cities would also follow suit. 

Parents should feed the ICE number in the mobile numbers carried by their children. 
They can feed the ICE number in the mobile phones carried by elderly, who may faint outside their homes in a park or on road, or may just forget their address. If they are carrying the mobile number at least someone can contact the right person. 
Just a few days back I found a 50-year old, fully drunk, lying on the road. There were people around and one of them trying to locate the number on which to call. And it was a big struggle since most people have 100s and 1000s of contact numbers in their mobile phones and to identify the right person quickly is often a challenge. Had there been ICE number added in the mobile, it would have been much easier. 
So just put it in your Mobile. Today. Now!
