Foeticide suspicions rise as Haryana reports 1,153 late abortions in 3 months

Haryana's health department is investigating 1,153 abortions beyond 12 weeks, raising concerns about potential female foeticide, especially among couples with daughters. The probe, triggered by a decline in the state's sex ratio, will scrutinize MTP centers and documentation. Ambala, Faridabad, and Jind reported the highest numbers, prompting a government team to verify compliance with abortion laws and identify illegal clinics.
