Day is observed but population is going through the roof
Faridabad, July 12
Observing the World Population Day, which was yesterday, seems to have become a ceremonial practice but it has nothing to do with the efforts required to check the growth of population in actual terms, at least in the district.
One of the shocking revelations made during the ceremonial meeting to commemorate the day here yesterday was that the population of Faridabad had been growing at the rate of 47.8 persons per 1000 of the population per year. This is certainly more than double the national average, which is pegged at around 22 per thousand.
It is also a reflection of the functioning of the Health Department. |
