Chandigarh: The BJP government in Haryana today announced that informers of illegal sex determination tests would be paid a cash reward of Rs 1 lakh - doubling the reward announced by the Congress' Hooda Government in July 2014.
"The state government has decided to give Rs 1 lakh cash award to the informers providing vital information about anyone involved in this heinous practice," state Health Minister Anil Vij said in Chandigarh.
Haryana has a skewed sex ratio of about 875 girls to 1,000 boys and figures at the bottom among all states in sex ratio (as per Census 2011).
Mr Vij said that provision of Rs 25 lakh token money has been provided under annual plan 2015-16 for this purpose. The reward is given to informers for enforcement of the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PCPNDT) Act.
