New Delhi: After it was reported that remains of at least 30 female foetuses were pulled out of an abandoned well in Nayagarh in Orissa, the state government has been quick to respond.
The Orissa Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, on Monday, promised quick action.
“Stringent action will be taken against the guilty. The crime branch is investigating very seriously,” says Patnaik.
The police team that found the foetuses was raiding hospitals in Nayagarh following a similar discovery nine days ago when a schoolboy discovered remains of seven female foetuses a few kilometres off Nayagarh.
Two people working at one of the nursing homes have been arrested and several others have been detained.
At 901 females to 1000 males, Nayagarh district has the worst sex ratio in Orissa. It's no coincidence that it also has over 12 private nursing homes and ultrasound clinics.
