By
  • According to the 2014 census, the child sex ratio of Haryana was 846 girls per 1,000 boys.
  • Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Thursday said that with efforts made by the state government and effective implementation of the 'Beti Bachao Beti Padhao' (BBBP) programme, the child sex ratio in the state has improved to 889 girls per 1,000 boys.
  • "Efforts are being made to further take it (child sex ratio) to above 900,"
  • he said, while flagging off the 'Sashakt Beti Sashakt Bharat' awareness march organised by the India Media Centre, Haryana.
  • About 150 girl students from 18 districts of Haryana are participating in the awareness march being organised to generate knowledge among the people regarding women's empowerment.
  • The awareness march would pass through 23 places in twelve districts before culminating at Raj Ghat in New Delhi, on January 14.
  • The Chief Minister said that since 2005, the sex ratio in Haryana had been on the decline, creating a lot of imbalance in the society.
  • He said that the state government was committed to eradicating crime from the society.
  • An atmosphere has been created in the state against the heinous act of female foeticide, he said.
  • The Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PNDT) Act is being strictly implemented and those found involved in female foeticide have been put behind bars after registering cases against them, he said.
  • With a view to empowering women, separate women's police stations have been set up in all districts to enable women victims to lodge complaints without any fear, he said.
  • However, much more needs to be done in this direction, he added.

By
The auction for coal blocks began aggressively with Anil Ambani's Reliance Cement bagging a block with a bid of Rs 1,402 per tonne, more than nine times the floor price of Rs 150, prompting the government to call it a grand success that would generate more revenue than the Comptroller and Auditor General of India's (CAG's) estimate of Rs 1.86 lakh crore lost by free distribution. GMR Energy won the Talabira -I coal block in Odisha with a very aggressive bid of Rs 478 per tonne.
