Side effects of rising population | Debate on new population law in UP

According to a government spokesman, Uttar Pradesh's total fertility rate is 2.7 per cent currently whereas it should ideally be less than 2.1 per cent.

Meanwhile, UP Law Commission chairman Justice A.N. Mittal is also framing a draft law for the government to help check the rising population of the state. "The draft law will be prepared in the next two months and the report will be submitted to the state government," Justice Mittal said.
