India Expands Compulsory Sterilization Push Across States
India tightens birth control policy as Uttar Pradesh introduces compulsory sterilization with penalties for obstinate husbands. Bill proposes up to two years in jail for refusing sterilization after a third child, with statewide moves to curb population growth and raise married-age thresholds. In Bombay and West Bengal, similar plans target parents of three or more children. India adds about 13 million people annually with a population around 604 million, aiming for one billion by 2000. A separate note from Bedford reports a Great Dane biting a judge after a prior order to destroy it.
