Gazebo laser plug-in fails to publish scan results in rviz

edit

I have added differential drive plug-in and laser sensor (hokuyo) plug-in to my urdf file. I launched the robot in environment shown below and moved the robot using tele-operation.

Then i launched the rviz and did the setup required to view the scan results fron laser plug-in but it failed (refer the pic below).

Following are my terminal result and result for rostopic echo /scan respectively.

Where have i gone wrong how to fix this, does the warnings in terminal cause this problem?

Below is my plug-in code
