Complaints? We are at your service with just a simple WhatsApp message. 0346 – 7776546,” After this tweet, he also requested people to send queries related to polio or this app on the WhatsApp helpline. — Babar Atta (@babarbinatta) September 2, 2019 “Dear brothers & sisters this is a WhatsApp text helpline, since my tweet, there is a flurry of calls on the number. Please don’t call, just send your query via WhatsApp Text,” Well-done! An outstanding initiative, soon we will be living in a country which will be free of all such kinds of diseases.
