  • 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.
