The Mahapanchayat or a conglomeration of various caste councils was held to create awareness among people against the social malady. Kuldeep Singh, a Khap leader presided over the gathering.
It was pointed out that due to female foeticide the population of girls has decreased, therefore, effective steps should be taken to prevent this social ill.
The meeting, which was held in a Haryana village, also holds significance due to its location as the state is infamous for its skewed sex ratio.
