CHANDIGARH: The three-dimensional ultrasound scanning machines have emerged as the latest threat to further imbalancing the sex ratio in Haryana. The Jhajjar civil surgeon has written to the government of Haryana not to allow the registration of such machines in the state.
Incidentally, mobile clinics and mobile testing machines, which have paved way for these 3D ultrasound machines, are already facing ablanket ban in rural as well as urban belts of the state. Health minister Rao Narender Singh, endorsing Jhajjar civil surgeon Dr Bharat Singh's view, has lodged a complaint in this regard with his counterpart in Rajasthan following the seizure of one such machine, last week, from Mahendegarh in Rajasthan.
"Use of kits for identification of sex is a passé. Now, couples seeking sex determination approach clinical laboratories with blood samples to be send abroad. This is a foolproof system. As far as 3D ultrasound machines are concerned, here, you need not give any indication, rather parents can see sex of the baby themselves. I have disallowed the registration of such machines in our district," said Dr Bharat Singh.
Meanwhile, referring to mobile clinics and diagnostic machines, like ultrasound scanner, health minister Rao Narender Singh admitted that the practice was rampant in the state, especially in the border districts.
