Published on: 

In order to implement Beti Bachao Abhiyan effectively, public awareness campaign will be lunched in the district.

A video clip of 30-30 seconds will be prepared and it will be telecast on various electronic mediums on the occasion of National Girl Child Day, scheduled on January 24.

Dehradun district magistrate Chandresh Kumar said this in a meeting with the office bearers of district PCPNDT advisory committee on Monday.

It was also decided to raise awareness on Pre-Conception and Prenatal Diagnostic Techniques Act (PCPNDT) through various mediums in the district. A total of 212 registered ultrasound centres were functional in the district, but registration of 99 such centres was cancelled due to the staffers indulging irregularities. 

In 113 registered centres, 166 ultrasound machines are available. 16 ultrasound machines were sealed between January 1 and December 31, 2014, he added.
