Centre seeks report on foeticide case

Prafulla Das

BHUBANESWAR: The Union Health Ministry has sought a report from the Orissa Government on the Nayagarh female foeticide case.

Its letter said the guilty should be brought to book and stringent action taken. The Centre also underlined the need for proper implementation of the laws on pre-natal diagnostic tests.

On July 14, a 12-year-old schoolboy found the foetuses in polythene bags as he was searching for waste bottles near Duburi Hills close to Ramachandiprasad village. But the foetuses disappeared by the time the Nayagarh police reached the spot.

Seven arrested

The Nayagarh police have registered four separate cases and arrested seven persons, all connected with nursing homes and ultrasound clinics.
