THE ORDER FROM COURT

Came into force in 1996
23. WHO VIOLATES?
Dr Archana Tandon 23
Among the first two lie the real culprits . So 7 % of the total are the
real cases which are caught by using Decoy Pts .That means 93% are just
filed to complete target and are for documentation which is not solving
our purpose

UPTIL NOW THE MAIN STRESS WAS ON
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ACT IN ITS PRESENT
STATE AND A LOT OF REVENUE AND RESOURCES
WERE AND ARE STILL BEING USED FOR IT FROM
NATIONAL
TO DISTRICT LEVEL .
27. BUT THE RESULT IS NEGLIGIBLE AND THE
DECLINE CONTINUES
WHY ?
28. Dr Archana Tandon 28
BECAUSE THE DEMAND FOR FETICIDE WAS NOT
ATTACKED !!
JUST AS INFANTICIDE CHANGED TO FETICIDE
DESPERATE PARENTS DISCOVERED WAYS TO GET
FETICIDEDONE

Situation
Illegal abortions increasing MMR and morbidity
Doctors are thinking of stopping doing obstetric
ultrasound altogether for the harassment
Leading to
Regressive Policies
Which will contribute to increasing
MMR
33. Dr Archana Tandon 33
Don’t you think we now need to change our
policy ?
Shouldn’t we now finish the
DEMAND OF FETICIDE TO DO AWAY
WITH THIS MARKET OF FETICIDE ?

The government , media , judiciary and society should draw and believe in
such norms so that the
FEMALE CHILD IS WELCOMED
CELEBRATED, PROTECTED AND REVERED
AND A FEMALE FETUS IS WELCOMED AND NOT ABORTED .
37. Dr Archana Tandon 37
Not authentic in court as only a statement of a doctor which I
received on my personal whatsapp but it sure shows the plight of
doctors Authenticity of it needs to be checked by documents of the
case .
39. Dr Archana Tandon 39
Vaisnavi this cute and brave child is the daughter of a
radiologist from JODHPUR RAJASTHAN .. Dr Shashank
Khanna .. See the values he has instilled in his daughter .
This is what needs to be done to deal with the problem of
FEMALE FETICIDE ... WOMEN EMPOWERMENT ...
Education ,Employment and safety The heart of PCPNDT
is been snatched away .. It should only be used to catch the
culprits doing SD by sting operations and not for the
harassment of doctors doing ethical practice but to catch the
real culprits doing SD and punish them . THE daughters
should be so empowered by the system created by society
and system that the market of feticide perishes THIS POEM
HAS BEEN WRITTEN BY DR SHASHANK HIMSELF !!
AND he says Why should I be afraid of anyone .. The
system has snatched away my employment .. my family is
suffering ..My whole purpose of studying medicine has
gone to doldrums ... I LEAVE IT TO PUBLIC TO
UNDERSTAND THE PLIGHT OF GENUINE DOCTORS
WHO ARE PUNISHED FOR ERRORS OF
DOCUMENTATION AS THE MARKET IF SD IS
RUNNING FULL BLOWN ...

CHANGE THE MINDSET OF THE SOCIETY TO DECREASE THE MMR AND TO SAVE THE
GIRL CHILD
http://tandonarchana.blogspot.in/2015/05/change-mindset-of-society-to.html
42. क्या ही अच्छा हो अगर ये स्टिंग ऑपरेशन डॉक्टर और मरीज़ दोनों के लिए हो
क्योंकक तािी एक हाथ से नहीिं बजती । अगर िोगों में डर पैदा होगा तभी वो
डॉक्टर के पास नहीिं जाएिंगे और माककि ट खत्म होगा वनाि डॉक्टर बेचारा अगर नहीिं
करेगा तो मरीजों से पपटेगा या बन्दूक की नोक पर होगा या िॉ के तहत जेि
में होगा ।मरीज तो अपना काम यहााँ या पवदेश में करा ही िेगा । So the
attention should now shift to catching the pts requesting for it and using
NGO'S TO DEMOTIVATE THEM AND PROVIDE HELP TO THEM BY
COUNCELLING .. AND SOCIETAL NORMS SHOULD BE CHANGED SO
THAT GIRL CHILD IS REVERED .
ये तो समाज में एक गित
सन्देश जा रहा है .
डॉक्टर को एक सामसजक प्रथा
का सजम्मेदार ठहराना कहााँ तक
सही है .
यहााँ ये लिखखत होना चाहहए कक
वो मरीज जो डॉक्टर से लििंग
ननर्ािरण कराते
या पूछते पाए जाएाँगे उन्हें
पकड़ने के लिए डडटेसक्टवस
चाहहए और जो डॉक्टर ऐसे
मरीज पकड़वाएाँगे उन्हें इनाम
लमिेगा
