"Population Nearing Explosive Stage": Uttar Pradesh Law Commission Chair

Uttar Pradesh Law Commission Chairperson Aditya Nath Mittal said that the increase in population is causing issues related to hospitals, foodgrains, houses and employment.

Uttar Pradesh Law Commission Chairperson, Aditya Nath Mittal on Sunday said that the state's population is nearing an explosive stage and there should be a check on the rising population so that people can get government facilities and resources. Speaking to ANI, Mr Mittal said, "Population is nearing an explosive stage, causing other issues too -related to hospitals, foodgrains, houses, or employment. We believe that there should be a check on population...Population control is different from family planning." "We don't want to give a message in Uttar Pradesh that we are against any particular religion or anyone's human rights. We just want to see to it that the government resources and facilities are available to those who are helping in and contributing to population control", the Chairperson of UP Law Commission said. Mr Mittal further said, "And we want that our future generations get the best education, best treatment at hospitals, can study in the best school, can consume a nutritious diet etc. It is a matter of social concern."
