	The Hindu : Opinion / News Analysis : The continuing battle against polio
		By the end of last year, children less than five years old in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar were reported to have received on average 15 doses of oral polio vaccine and only four per cent of the children (mostly babies less than six months old) had received less than three doses.
		Analysis showed that the districts in the country with a high density of children and where diarrhoea was prevalent and with low use of oral vaccine in routine infant immunisation were more likely to report polio cases during 2000 to 2005, according to the paper.
		In Uttar Pradesh, it appears that high population density and bad sanitation allowed other viral infections and diarrhoea to spread, which then interfered with the action of the oral polio vaccine, thereby lowering its efficacy, explained Dr. Grassly in an email.

		Subsequently in January 1999, the SO2 Indicator survey was undertaken in five districts with a sample size of 5000 households to measure the progress made by the IFPS project during the calendar year 1998.

		As slightly over three-fifths of the population was in the priority districts, 6130 households from six districts were covered and the remaining 3870 households were from four other PERFORM districts.

		However, the issue is not as irreconcilable as it appears as most of the larger ongoing projects such as the Tehri, Tanakpur, the Malpa, etc are centrally funded or being constructed by central agencies like the NHPC and a precedent for dispute resolution already exists in the Bhakra-Beas Management Board.
