| Seminar on "Save the Girl Child" organised | | | Early Times Report
kathua, Apr 7: On the occasion of World Health Day, a seminar on the theme "Save the Girl Child" was organized by Red Cross and Education Department at Government Girls Higher Secondary School Kathua.
District Development Commissioner Kathua Zahidha Parveen Khan who is also Chairperson of Indian Red Cross Society Kathua was the chief guest on the occasion. The students of various government and private schools participated in the seminar and expressed their views.
Speaking on the occasion Zahida Parveen Khan said its painful fact that female foeticide is now deep rooted in our society and the most shocking fact is that the innovative and hard high end technologies are brutally killing the girl child. The clinical tests are highly contributing to the rise in genocide of the unborn girl child. She appealed the people to cooperate in eradicating this social evil which is posing serious threat to the sex ratio which is receding at an alarming rate. Prizes were also given to all the participating students. Later DDC Kathua also flagged off an awareness rally from Government Girls Higher Secondary School Kathua which culminated at Shaheedi Chowk. DDC also visited Vridh Ashram along with Indian Red Cross team where team of doctors comprising orthopaedic and physician conducted medical check-up of elderly people. Fruit and juices were also distributed to the aged people. Similar check up was done at district hospital where team of doctors provided advice to aged people to choose right diet in their daily life. |
