Speaking at the Lohri program, Dr. Pawan Kumar Shagotra, while highlighting the importance of Lohri, said that this effort of giving Lohri to girls will not only stop foeticide, but will also help in pregnancy and will also strengthen people's thinking towards girls, because girls are the foundation of our society.
He said that the health department is taking several steps under the PC PNDT Act to stop female foeticide. To bring further improvement in this, we need to change our thinking so that we can empower our daughters with good thinking. The civil surgeon said that we should celebrate Lohri of our sons with great pomp and show and show that they will become their support.
If we adopt the same thinking for our daughters, educate them as well as sons and nurture them, then daughters can also make this society prosperous by giving their valuable contribution to the society and can become the support of their parents in old age.
