531 women become pregnant after birth control operation in Orissa

This was revealed by Health and Family Welfare minister Prasanna Acharya while replying a question in the assembly.

However, the government did not feel it necessary to take action against any doctor for fault in conducting tubectomy surgery, the minister said.

As many as 60,0369 women underwent family planning operation between 2006-07 to 2010-11 in the state, he said adding that out of 531 women who conceived again, 236 were given compensation by different insurance companies.

The compensation were given by insurance companies under Central government's Family Welfare Insurance Scheme as per a direction of the Supreme Court, Acharya said.

The minister, however, assured the House that the government would not hesitate to take action against the doctors if they were found guilty in performing surgery under family planning activities.
