By the last week of May and early June, the sale of kits in most districts have dwindled to zero

CHANDIGARH: Following a state-wide crackdown on the sale of abortion pills—both legal and illegal—in the last four months, there has been a dramatic fall in the demand for medical termination of pregnancy (MTP) kits across Haryana, official data shows.

From a peak of 40,763 MTP kits supplied by 32 wholesalers in the first fortnight of March, across 22 districts to retail medical shops and the certified MTP centers, the figures have nosedived to near-zero in at least 19 districts by early June, according to the official data compiled by the state Food and Drugs Administration (FDA).

By the last week of May and early June, the sale of kits in most districts—including Sonepat, Rewari, Kurukshetra, Hisar and Jind—had dwindled to zero, reflecting a clear impact of regulatory action.

The data shows that 30,877 MTP kits were sold by the wholesalers in the second fortnight of March, and it came down to 25,721 between April 1 and April 15.
