Delhi's Sex Ratio Declines, Experts Express Concerns

Delhi's Sex Ratio Declines, Experts Express Concerns

A new report from the Delhi government shows a concerning trend: fewer girls are being born compared to boys in Delhi.

This means that for every 1,000 boys born, only 920 girls were born in 2024.

Health experts are worried and believe this might be due to families wanting to know the gender of the baby before birth.

The total number of babies born has also decreased.

However, the number of babies and mothers dying has slightly decreased.

The government is taking action to improve public health and to address the gender imbalance.
