Indian Village Reports Only Two Births in Two Years
Its sex ratio is a matter of concern. And recently it was found that the Malwa region, a big chunk of the state, suffers from a severe health crisis.
Complicating the situation is the report that the Jalalpur village in the Fatehgarh Sahib district saw only two births in the last two years.
Whether it can be attributed to indifference on the part of officials to record births or there has actually been a drop in birth rate is a moot point. Whatever the reason, it is a matter of concern, say observers.
Swarn Singh, a local government official, claimed that he issued the last birth certificate, that of a girl child, on May 5 last year. Villagers, however, claim that at least eight births took place during the same period. The total population of the village is 910, and the number of children in the age group of 0-5 years is 82.
Parminder Singh, a community leader, said, "We had not taken notice of it so far, but it is quite intriguing and we will conduct a survey to know the reasons." Deputy Commissioner of the district, Sahib Alaknanda Dayal, said, "It seems that registration of births and deaths is not being done properly. If any negligence is found, strict action would be taken against the erring officials."
