Civil Surgeon warns of strict action against errant doctors

Kharar, December 9

Strict action will be taken against those found indulging in the illegal practice of determining the gender of the foetus, said Civil Surgeon Dr Manjit Singh while addressing a gathering during a function under “Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao” campaign in the government hospital at Bootgarh village near Kurali. He said that anti-social people indulged in this malpractice will not be spared at any cost as prenatal sex determination is the only cause for declining sex ratio in many areas. He said that gender-based testing is banned all over the country, however, some people perform such kind of testing to make money. — TNS
