Sub-National Pulse Polio Programme will be carried out in 13 districts of Haryana from 26 September to 28 September 2021.

No polio case in the state since 2010. The Chief Minister said that Haryana has reported no case of polio since January 2010 and no polio case has been found in India since

January 2011.

Therefore, India has been declared polio-free on February 11, 2014. But India's neighbouring countries Pakistan and Afghanistan are still getting polio cases, due to which the polio eradication campaign is being run repeatedly

in India.
