The ultrasound clinics have become so popular for conducting these tests that people from neighbouring Punjab and Himachal Pradesh are also heading towards these clinics. Sources informed Early Times that some of the ultra sound clinic owners with active connivance of some doctors have been conducting the sex-determination tests, which are banned. "Not only the sex-determination tests, even abortions are conducted by some doctors and nursing staff", sources said. "For conducting abortions, a separate facility has been established by the doctors, who get their customers from the Ultrasound clinics", sources said, adding that the opening of half a dozen ultrasound clinics in Kathua city alone corroborated the fact that it has become a very lucrative business. Sources further disclosed that for a sex determination test, huge money was charged by the ultrasound clinic owners. "The conducting of sex-determination test is illegal and the ultrasound clinic owners, didn't mention the name of patient or any other detail in their balance sheets but have been making huge money by this illegal business", sources said. Sources further divulged that the owners of the private ultrasound clinics have amassed huge property in last few years but their balance sheets didn't match with their wealth accumulated by them. "Some officials of Health department are aware of the matter and are hand in glove with the Ultra-sound clinic owners. They get their share and facilitate these clinics to run the illegal activities", sources said, adding that the business was becoming huge.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
