# Haryana Sex Ratio Falls Below 900 in 11 Districts 2026-08-06T19:50:46+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Haryana’s sex ratio at birth fell to 900 girls per 1,000 boys by June 2026, down from 923 in 2025, according to state Civil Registration System data cited by Times Now. Eleven of the state’s 22 districts recorded ratios below 900. Charkhi Dadri saw the sharpest fall, from 913 to 829, while Panipat and Panchkula also reported steep declines. Palwal, Sonipat, Rewari, Faridabad and Karnal improved from their 2025 figures. The data has renewed concern over sex-selective abortions and discrimination against girls. Health officials said illegal abortion networks and unauthorised MTP kit sales are being targeted, alongside awareness programmes. They also said the mid-year figure could improve by December, as it has in previous years. The reasons for the decline remain unclear. ## Coverage - timesnownews.com Tags: girl child, Haryana, PC-PNDT Act, public health, sex ratio Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/haryana-sex-ratio-falls-below-900-in-11-districts/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
