Haryana government has intensified its statewide campaign under the 'Beti Bachao Beti Padhao' programme to improve the gender ratio by cracking down on illegal sex determination practices.

Data shows a decline in abortion cases and the closure of 201 out of 1,206 registered MTP centers, with ongoing strict monitoring of the remaining facilities.
