THE Badami Bagh police arrested on Saturday a woman who refused to administer anti-polio vaccine to her children.

The police registered a case under sections 506 and 186 of Pakistan Penal Code against Bano, a resident of Hanif Park.

Lady Health Supervisor of Union Council 11 Misbah Munir, who was the complainant, said she along with a lady health worker reached Hanif Park to administer anti-polio drops to children on Saturday.
