Sterilisation Surgeon Seeks Law to Curb Population Growth

“The government should enact a law to deny benefits to those people who have more than two children,” said Dr Pant.

On the eve of World Population Day, noted surgeon Dr Lalitmohan Pant, who has performed 3.81 lakh sterilisation procedures in the last four decades, on Wednesday, 10 July, demanded a law in view of growing population in India.

A law to check population growth is the need of the hour, which should be enacted as soon as possible.
