This decision was taken at the meeting of state Supervisory Board of Pre Conception and Pre Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PC-PNDT) Act, chaired by Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain.
"Delhi government will give a reward of Rs one lakh to those who will provide correct information about illegal ultrasound machines, sex selection and sex selective abortions centres in the national capital," said a senior government official.
A separate website and a toll-free helpline number will be launched to enable people to lodge complaints against hospitals and centres conducting illegal sex selection tests and sex selective abortions.
The Board also decided for installation of active trackers and GPS in every ultrasound machine and mandatory installation of CCTV cameras at entry point of each ultrasound centre.
