Notice to Centre on plea for law to control population explosion

Claiming population explosion to be the cause for increasing crimes

New Delhi – Population explosion is the basic cause for thefts, robbery, domestic violence, harassment of women, separatism, fanaticism, stone pelting, etc. Yet the Centre is not taking any constructive measure in this regard, claimed the petitioner filing a PIL in the Court. Taking cognisance of the PIL, the Court has issued a notice to the Centre on 8th August. Adv Ashutosh Dube has field this PIL on behalf of Dharmaguru Devkinandan Thakur.

Important points mentioned in the petition

1. There is a need to pass a law to control the population in the nation. Water, food, health and the right to employment should be delivered. Hence such laws need to be passed in earnest.
