Acting Federal Ombudsman Salman Farooqui on Saturday took suo moto notice on the media reports of the large number of deaths of children caused by the outbreak of measles in different parts of the country, said a government spokesman.
Farooqui observed that hundreds of children had lost their lives and many were still suffering the agony of the disease because of the apparent indifferent attitude of the concerned functionaries of the government who were responsible for the inefficiency. Notices had been issued to federal institutions which were responsible for the poor administration. Farooqui requested the provincial ombudsmen of Sindh, Punjab, KPK, Balochistan and AJK to probe into the inefficiency of the concerned officers working in their respective provincial government agencies.
These organizations had apparently failed to perform their official obligations of taking preventive steps against the outbreak of the disease.
